Quotes
Mrs. Patroni:
Well, the first stewardess is at the controls, but she... she's in constant touch with the tower.

Goofs
The First Officer requests ATC clearance and mentions "...taxi in five minutes." The next scene is a mobile lounge docking with the plane and the first few passengers boarding the plane. It takes at least 20 minutes to prepare a cabin for takeoff from the time the first passengers boards the plane - and it would be more like 30 to 40 minutes for a Boeing 747.
