    • Trivia
      The segment where the trainee flight attendants at Royalty Airways are undergoing training by John Witney (Mike Myers) included a lesson on how to deal with terrorists. The scene was cut from the film, and was not included on the DVD release as a deleted scene.
    • Goofs
      At the time when Christine and Donna are fighting in the forward cabin of the aircraft, Donna is apparently the only member of the cabin crew onboard. The first passengers can be seen ready to board the aircraft at this point, and during the boarding stage all members of the cabin crew would be in the cabin.
