Flight was initally STL-JFK... but a weather hold canceled the original flight, leading to the situation of 1 seat in coach & 1 in F... STL-LGA... which then diverted to JFK...

So back in the 90's when this was filmed... WN didn't have these segs right? TWA... maybe AA...

One plot hole...Elaine had to sit in coach as there was only one seat left in F, which Jerry not-so-politely took. Yet during the flight, Elaine snuck into first class. One of the series' best episodes!

...But of course the airline will only offer 1 seat in F if 2 are avail and 1 is in Coach...

...or it was a weight & balance issue... had to keep it free

Always painfully obvious when you have a wide-body passenger plane with only 10 rows of seats...

Love that episode. It was on here in Houston a few nights ago. It's always nostalgic to watch them walk right through the airport, and right up to the gate - no security.

I enjoyed that they got a meal service in coach between St. Louis and NYC.

"You're not supposed to get up during the meal service!"

Even "back in the day" though, that guy wouldn't have been able to have all his luggage in his lap...

Not a model, but a real looker. Now if she would have laid her head on my shoulder like Jerry...

WN never flew to JFK.
yes, a model, with an ad for jeans on a page of the magazine Jerry was looking at. A Calvin Klein model, IIRC.
she later caught Jerry in a "pick" at a red light and never called him back!



nor did they ever have FC. always thought that was funny and ironic. typical seinfeld to select WN for a FC episode.

Commie, now that name reminds me of another seinfeld episode where elaine is dating a communist and kramer and his dwarf friend are working as santa and elves at the mall.
a kid says "that guy's a Commie!"

everything eventually reminds me of seinfeld
