Plot Summary

Jerry and Elaine are flying home from St. Louis to New York after Jerry has performed a show and Elaine has visited her sister. When their flight home gets canceled, Jerry and Elaine rebook on another flight with one seat left in first class and one in coach. After a brief tense moment during which Jerry explains that he cannot fly coach since he's flown first class before, Elaine gets cramped into coach and Jerry parties in first class with a sexy model. Due to their having to rebook and a rerouting of their flight, George and Kramer go between JFK and LaGuardia to pick them up. When they settle on an airport George meets a convict and Kramer sees a former roommate of his (Grossbard) who owes him $240 from twenty years ago. Kramer hatches a scheme to get the money back that involves him and George buying tickets for the man's flight and boarding it.

Trivia

* Labeled forever as the stinky airplane bathroom guy in this, his most well-known cameo appearance, Larry Charles is usually noticed by Seinfeld fans because of that. His only comment to that, from the DVD commentary for this episode: "I looked good in that."¹ Charles made two other oncamera cameos, both of them with Larry David, in The Trip, Part 2, and The Pilot, Part 2.
* Larry David can be heard off-screen claiming to have ordered the kosher meal.
* Annie Koren, who usually appears as Jack Klompus' wife, appeared as a passenger in this episode.
* Several exterior shots show the livery of the plane Jerry and Elaine are in. It is clearly Southwest Airlines aircraft N527SW (http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0460969). However, Southwest does not fly into either LaGuardia or JFK, and does not have a first class cabin on any of their aircraft. The interior shows that the aircraft is a Trans World Airlines (TWA) Boeing 757.
* When George is engaged in the argument with the shackled prisoner, he responds "But you are, Blanche! You are in the shackles!". This is a parody of a quote by Bette Davis, said to Joan Crawford (in a similar situation), from the film Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?.
