*PottyEmergency: Intentionally inflicted by the staff of MJN Air on their passengers, by keeping the seatbelt sign on and sending the drinks cart around repeatedly, making them desperate for the toilet. This allows them to play 'Passenger Derby' by taking bets on which passenger will reach the aircraft's loo first.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Douglas and Carolyn manage to deflate Martin's overbearing big brother, who acts like his job working for the local council is the biggest thing in the world, by asking him to give them some stories. Which he can't. Martin later makes it clear he enjoyed seeing this ''very much''.
* GrammarCorrectionGag: When Carolyn angrily sums up MJN's problems in one syllable words, Douglas is naturally unable to let it pass that "money" is more than one syllable; ''cash'' would've been a better choice.
