Snfeld "First Class" Episode
 

I was responding to another thread and thought that I could start this one...

Does anyone remember the "Seinfeld" Episode where Jerry ends up getting a FC while Elaine is stuck in coach...where the writers comically exaggerate both cabins. I always think of this and chuckle when I walk into FC.

FA: "More of anything?"
Jerry: "More of everything!

it was on a couple of nights ago on TBS. hilarious!

As he lets out a deep laugh and clinks champagne flutes. :)

Yet I thought the AC exterior colors were WN . . .

Love this episode and was just on NBC (after news before Leno) in ANC

And it was either a WN or SW tail #... Did WN once have F?

...and george is stuck in the lav

...Kramer running on the runway....

classic!

Two different episodes??

Is that the one where Elaine doesn't tip the porter and her baggage gets sent to Hawaii?

It's a standard sitcom gag to comically exaggerate what F is like. Bart Simpson got to toast marshmallows on his personal fireplace.

Aircraft interiors are almost always shot on a soundstage -- it's too cramped to shoot in a real aircraft. The sets are usually cut-up sections of retired aircraft.

Going back to the Seinfeld episode, I have never had a beautiful supermodel sitting next to me in First Class!! :( :(

I’ve seen a clip of that somewhere, but I think I’m the only person in the United States that’s never sat and watched an entire episode of Seinfeld. All I really know of the show is people parroting the catchphrases.

One of my idiot bosses...
 

...sat beside Cindy Crawford YYZ-LAX. He drove her nuts, she finally changed seats..it was great he was mocked about it during the entire meeting.

That makes two of us.

Yup.

Same one :cool:

Also a funny moment on another airport related episode is Kramer betting on flight schedules... and thanks to Jerry (The pilot wanted him off the a/c) that flight was late... Kramer initially won a bunch of $ (double or nothin) but then it was revealed Jerry was supposed to be on the flight...

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!

Oh yes: THEY HAVE COOKIES HERE!

One of the best epsiodes from Seinfeld.

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

...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... :D

HTB.

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... :o :D

WN never flew to JFK.

They were! I noticed that, too. How ironic!:p

It is Seinfeld... maybe Jerry was poking fun at WN :cool:

Just put 1+1 together... :D:D:D

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.

Was this around late summer 2005?
I was on an AC flight YYZ-lax and sat behind Cindy Crawford...she was in row 1 and i was in row 2..

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

Soo true... and when I finally went to NYC this past May... even more so :eek: :D

OK OT but the Best movie had to be Meet the Parents

especially when Ben tried to board to go home and was told his row wasnt clled yet and hed have to wait his turn, camera pans the gate area and no one there but him, then the stuffing of the bag into the bin or trying to at least

and yep once I was brought a bag that looked just like mine but wasnt, seems the delivery guy dropped mine off at the previous stop where the one he tried to convince me was mine was suppose to have been drooped, 2 hrs later all was OK

ah yes, so much of life can be related thru a Seinfeld* episode



*or "Seinfield" - remember the Japanese television executive!

no more supermodels?
 

With jet fuel going down in price...does this mean it'll be less likely to sit next to a supermodel in FC? They would be more likely to take company jet (unless it's to a GM/Ford/Chrystler car show...j/k):D

wow... after watching the clip, all I can say is economy class had it good back then!

The guy sitting next to Elaine says that she is sitting in his seat. "See, 13C, that's me." Was there an airline that had Row 13?

The plane had Tuscany wine.. A place Jerry is familiar with:D

You can add me to your small group.

yes, even though there's no place available to live there. - Maestro

Continental appears to be the only major US airline that routinely calls row 13 "14".

FWIW, I actually tried deliberately booking row 13 on other airlines for a while to see if I'd end up with empty seats next to me more often. It didn't work.

"I'm sorry. I'm sure Mr Seinfield is very funny to Americans, but I'm not sure this 'butler show' would work in Japan."

"Oh, I, uh, I disagree. You've, uh, you've been living in America too long. (indicates the bag of oranges) You've forgotten what it's like to have no oranges."
