* ArtisticLicense: A *lot* of the events that take place in the show simply wouldn't be possible in reality. Whilst a lot of them could be forgiven as [[RuleOfFunny Rule of Funny]] exceptions such as Omar's clearly illegal money-saving ideas, some are quite obvious to anybody with any knowledge of the airline industry. Some examples include:
** Ticket desks are manned by airline crew as they're trained sales staff, but Check-in desks aren't. They're manned by airport staff who have no loyalty or investment in the airline they happen to be checking in that day, and can often represent half a dozen different airlines in a single day.
** Averted in the case of Terry and John. Baggage handlers are airline-agnostic and so wouldn't be affected by the strike.
** Flight crews don't work as "teams". Each flight must be manned by a captain and an FO and are scheduled in advance, but there is no system to keep the same people together.
** EVERYBODY who works airside would be wearing a lanyard to show they are supposed to be there and aren't a passenger. No exceptions.
** Ray Wilkins would have been on his face before he got anywhere near the skybridge. Security personnel take a very dim view of people racing through departure lounges shouting at others.
** [[Creator/DavidSchwimmer David Schwimmer's]] [=DVDs=] would not have got him into trouble as pornography of that nature is not illegal in the UK.
** Often, Kosher and Halal meals are prepared in the same place and supervised by both an Imam and a Rabbi, due to the similarity of the process. It's entirely possible to have a meal which meets both requirements, and often is standard procedure for regions where those who require a special meal are in a minority.
** The check-in agent who refused to allow the swords in the cabin should have asked the passengers to place them in the hold.
** "Hot nuts" are not commonly served on airplanes because of the risk of allergy in a closed environment.
* FakeNationality:
** Lucas plays Scottish Tommy Reid and Irish Fearghal O'Farrell.
** Walliams plays Arabian Omar Baba.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: A scene from episode 1 involved one of Williams' characters using different cards from other companies in attempt to board a flight without a passport, with one from the now defunct video chain Blockbuster.
