The trip goes horribly awry, however, when the aircraft is forced out of the atmosphere and into outer space.

Curiosidades
The movie is loosely based on the novel "Orbit" by Thomas H. Block, from 1982. In the novel, a hypersonic plane on a cruise from New York City to Sydney exceeds its cruise altitude, due to sabotage by a revenge-seeking company engineer.

Pifias
The casket Josh is using is described as being hermetically sealed, yet while he is getting situated, the casket is plainly a non-sealing gasket, which is evidenced by the lack of a gasket between the body and the lid. In addition, when he is shining his flashlight around the interior, he is not shining his light at the space between the lid and the body, yet Cody reports there are no light leaks.

Citas
Joe Pedowski: You're gonna try to fly this thing back?
Captain Cody Briggs: Joe, did you ever skip a flat rock across a lake and watch it skim and bounce along the surface? I wanna give reentry that kind of shot.
Joe Pedowski: I have skipped a few rocks on a few lakes in my time and I never saw yet one that didn't sink. It's one chance in a million.
Captain Cody Briggs: So was this accident.
Joe Pedowski: I am scared out of my mind being up here inside this plane and you want me to go outside?
[laughs nervously]
Joe Pedowski: oh no!
[pause]
Joe Pedowski: I'll need a wire stripper and some wire nuts... and a dry pair of pants when I get back.
Joe Pedowski: cannot unselect the speaker.

Créditos adicionales

MST3K-caliber awful

In fact I think this was a KTMA episode. But one scene that stands out in my mind indelibly is the one where Hal Linden's character is spirited off Starflight by sticking him in the coffin that was transporting the Australian ambassador to the US back home for burial or some such, and the body is stiff as a board (or a mannequin) after being removed from the casket and floats around the cargo hold wearing the pointiest shoes I've ever seen . Somehow I don't think a casket is airtight enough to survive the rigors of spaceflight!
