That movie actually has a whole bunch of funny travel-related quotes, such as:

Narrator: Was it ticking?
Airport Security Officer: Actually throwers don't worry about ticking 'cause modern bombs don't tick.
Narrator: Sorry, throwers?
Airport Security Officer: Baggage handlers. But, when a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police.
Narrator: My suitcase was vibrating?
Airport Security Officer: Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while...
[whispering]
Airport Security Officer: it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.
Narrator: I don't own...
[Officer waves Narrator off]

Narrator: Apart from seasoning the lobster bisque, he farted on meringues, he sneezed on braised endive, and as for the creme of mushroom soup, well...
Tyler (Off Screen): Go ahead, tell 'em.
Narrator: You get the idea.
Narrator: Tyler was now involved in a class action lawsuit against the Pressman Hotel over the urine content of their soup.

From the book: the Pressman Hotel would always be known as the hotel where the richest people in the world ate pee.

Tyler: An exit-door procedure at 30.000 feet. Mm-hmm. The illusion of safety.
Tyler: You know why the put oxygen masks on planes?
Narrator: So you can breathe.
Tyler: Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant, panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile, you accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing, 600 miles per hour. Blank faces. Calm as Hindu cows.

and last but not least:
Tyler: Ah, now a question of etiquette: As I pass, do I give you the ... or the crotch?
