What are the options now for data-only cellular plans with 5G for 2022 iPad Air? The Apple list on this website is old and gives very little info.
I just want a basic, cheap iPad-only plan for occasional travel.

Depending upon where you are on this planet, this may well be true. It is for this reason that some specialist carriers partner with Apple in providing short-term plans that can be activated directly from iPad when needed.
For example:
The above MVNOs offer short-term plans that can be activated as-and-when needed - these being ideal when travelling. Some MVNOs operate internationally - others may be regional.

Shop-around your national Cellular Carriers for a deal that best meets you need.
Unless your iPad was purchased from a Cellular Carrier - which may limit your choice due to a subsidy lock - if you have a recent model Cellular iPad with eSiM you may also be able to activate a short-term service plan directly from the iPad:
Settings > Mobile Data

I dare anyone to try to shop for a data-only tablet plan from the usual cellular carrier suspects. If they do offer any such plans, you will be hard pressed to find them on their websites, particularly cheap ones for occasional use.
