Jason Reitman says the final product wouldn't have been as good if he made it in his early 20's and wouldn't have been as timely if he made it when the economy wasn't a major issue.

** According to Vera Farmiga, despite her role having been written with her in mind, she nearly didn't get the part because she'd just ''had a baby'' and, according to certain executives, [[HollywoodPudgy needed to lose weight]]. Fortunately for all concerned, Reitman and Clooney put their collective foot down, and she stayed in the role -- which ultimately got her an Oscar nomination.

* CaliforniaDoubling: In this case, St. Louis Doubling. The film takes place in over a dozen cities all over the US, but almost all the airport and airplane scenes were shot in St. Louis, and locations in St. Louis double for locations in several other cities, including Chicago. The scenes set in Detroit, along with a few other scenes, were filmed in Detroit albeit in the wrong terminal. All of the Northwest signage on the walls was covered by posters for American although blurred out Northwest and Continental signs could still be seen at the gate podiums.
