Okay, you're the writer / director / producer / executive / all of the above of a hit TV show. You want to do something different to create some tension and drama and/or humor in an episode and you don't want a Very Special Episode or a Clip Show and you don't want to spend all the money to take the whole cast and crew on location to Disney World / Hawaii / Jamaica / Springfield. A lightbulb switches on in your brain: set the episode on a plane. This is fairly easy to do because it requires a very limited amount of sets; the limited space on a plane creates close quarters, which can create Dramatic Tension, especially if one of the main characters is deathly afraid of flying. Also, there can be accidents in a plane's bathroom, and that can help with comedic sequences. So writers/directors/producers/all of the above can get a lot of drama on a lower budget. See also Death in the Clouds, Mile-High Club and all the other Tropes on a Plane. A subtrope of Bottle Episode. |

Wonder Woman (1987): While Donna and Hippolyta are fighting Darkseid's forces in space Steve Trevor and Etta Candy are on a relaxing flight home, which becomes much less relaxing when the flight crew carries out a Suicide Pact that leaves the plane without a pilot or co-pilot. This forces Steve to land the plane, and while he's an experienced pilot that doesn't mean he's flown this commercial craft before. | |

House “Airborne" had House and Cuddy stuck on a plane when a strange epidemic started breaking out among the passengers. House replaces his usual team with three passengers on the plane. He tells one of them to say "crikey" and agree with everything he says, one of them is to disagree with everything House says, and the third passenger must be morally outraged at everything he says. | |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has "The Gang Beats Boggs," in which the gang tries to beat Wade Boggs's record of drinking 70 beers in a cross-country flight. In season 13, the show does a Gender Flip on the episode by having Dee lead the female characters of the show to do their own version, spoofing the Hollywood fad of gender-flipped movie reboots like Ghostbusters (2016) and Ocean's 8. | |

Series 6 of Spooks had an episode where Adam and Ros board a flight from London to Tehran to hunt down a courier taking nuclear secrets to Iran. Even worse, the UK government had to allow the plane to fly without lightning shielding, or else risk a chemical attack on London. As luck would have it, the plane flies right into a thunderstorm over Turkey. | |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Jet Scream", Rocko and Heffer travel by plane to a comic book convention in Las Vegas. Rocko endures every bad plane flight cliche (prior to 9/11 and the resulting changes) known to man, from losing his luggage (it ended up on another planet) to dealing with a bratty kid (the passengers cheer when an exasperated Rocko stuffs him in an overhead bin) to the plane going into a dive. In "The Big Answer", Rocko and Heffer hold Filburt's bachelor party on a plane-themed ice cream parlor, which somehow takes off. |

"Phantom Traveler," the fourth episode of the first season of Supernatural where Sam and Dean had to stop a demon that took down planes forty minutes into flight. Dean freaked out the whole time because he is terrified of flying.note Said phobia is, of course, used in combination with their need to travel with a mini-arsenal in the trunk in order to Hand Wave the reason why the duo never use air travel again in the remainder of the show's 15-year run, despite it being a far more convenient method of travelling all over the contiguous United States than driving for people whose work could call them anywhere next. | |

The A-Team: In the Season 1 episode "The Beast from the Belly of a Boeing", the A-Team has to stop a group of six hijackers from holding a plane ransom and dumping it in the ocean. B. A. was supposed to be on the ground, but he accidentally ended up on the plane and went into temporary paralysis. Murdock's eyes got wounded when a gun discharged in his face (and shot a hole in the plane), so Hannibal had to land the plane at LAX while Murdock talked him through the whole thing with his eyes closed, proving that Murdock can fly any kind of aircraft and leading to a Moment of Awesome. | |

Phineas and Ferb: "De Plane! De Plane!" involves the title characters making an airplane out of paper maché to beat out Howard Hughes' Hughes H-4 Hercules, which was derisively called the "Spruce Goose". Later they fly it, with Phineas and Ferb as pilot and co-pilot, and Isabella, Baljeet, and the Fireside Girls as flight attendants and floor show performers. The first part of the two-part episode "Where's Perry" begins with the gang traveling from Danville to Africa on a jet airplane. This is brief, but it does cap off with a fun gag on Candace in fetal position on the luggage conveyor belt because of her trauma of having no cell service waiting for Jeremy to call. Another married couple attempts to pick her up. |

Garfield and Friends: In "Skyway Robbery", Jon intends to travel to Miami by plane with Garfield and Odie, but is unable to pay for the standard flight due to its high price, so Al Swindler offers Jon a cheaper flight with what little money he has. Garfield and Odie realize that Jon is being swindled, but since they can't speak, Jon doesn't listen, and when try they to leave Jon, he drags them into the plane. The plane is cheap and broken, and when it finally does get into the air, it begins to malfunction and Swindler parachutes off it. Panicking, Jon calls the Air Travel Control, and with the Italian food hints the air traffic controller gives, Garfield successfully manages to land the plane, only to end up in the South Pole. A stubborn Jon refuses to go back inside the plane and tries to find a place to stay, until he, Garfield, and Odie see Swindler again and rush back into the plane to fly away. | |

Naturally, Lost has had a couple of these. The flashbacks in the pilot were all to the moments before the plane broke up in mid-air. "Exodus" shows all the characters boarding the plane. Much of "316" takes place on the plane on which the Oceanic 6 return to the island. The first half of "LA X" features the alternate 815 in midair; the second half is set in the airport. | |

CSI: Cyber had "404: Flight Not Found", which is somewhat a subversion, as none of the main cast actually sets foot on the plane in question; the high-tech plane was cyber-hijacked in a plot to assassinate a girl in Witness Protection, and the team has to identify the hacker and thwart them remotely (with help from the Air Marshal on board, and a passenger with a military background after the Marshal is taken out of the picture by the hijacker). | |

In Father Ted: "Flight Into Terror," Dougal visits an airliner cockpit and (apparently) presses the Big Red Button that dumps the main fuel supply, and Ted has to climb outside the plane in midair to connect the emergency fuel tank. The best scene: There are only two parachutes on board, and Ted holds an essay writing competition to decided who gets the parachutes... Jack steals both of them — one for himself and the other for the drinks trolley. | |

Johnny Bravo episode "The Man Who Cried Clown". Johnny was the only character who knew there was a clown performing some antics at the plane's wing (a reference to The Twilight Zone (1959) episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"). After several attempts, he finally rids of it, only to learn from the plane's crew said plane was so irregular it needed a clown on each wing and, since the clown at the other wing alone wasn't enough to provide safe landing, Johnny had to replace the missing clown. | |

The Electric Company (1971)'s animated segment, "The Adventures of Letterman," had one episode set on a plane. The series' villain, the Spellbinder, pulls off what today would be considered an act of terrorism: Spotting a plane with an elementary school class (along with teachers, the principal and chaperones) going on a cross-country trip, Spellbinder decides to change the "e" in plane to "t," creating "plant." The plant begins a freefall from 30,000 feet, the Spellbinder laughs at the situation(!) and the pilot to cry out to the control tower for help, knowing that the situation is hopeless. Never fear: Letterman shows up in time to restore the "e" in plane and the flight to continue on uneventfully. note Today, Spellbinder — who creates the situation for his own amusement — would be shot on sight, or in the very least receive a swift and sure death sentence; here, he simply yells "curses" and lives to fight another day. Additionally, the segment (which was not part of any re-aired The Electric Company episode that ran on Noggin in the early 2000s) would have been pulled immediately after 9/11 (due to the historic event's association with Middle Easterners). | |
