[edit] Trivia

This episode marks the final full appearance of Reba, even though she will appear in flashbacks and be alluded to in future episodes (including Accidental Playhouse).
One of the magazines on the Pee-wee Airlines flight is called Playrobot. This is a parody of the real-life magazine, Playboy.
When Globey sees the plane flying through the air, he says, "The plane! The plane!" which is what Hervé Villechaize says repeatedly on Fantasy Island, whenever he sees the plane arriving at the titular location.
U.S. News & World Report, the magazine Globey requests on the imaginary plane flight, is an actual newsmagazine.
Miss Yvonne says, "Please refrain from smoking while the no smoking sign is on, and for the rest of your life." This alludes to a United States law passed in the 1980s that banned smoking on all commercial and non-commercial plane flights.
