Synopsis[]
Quagmire scores free friends-and-family plane tickets for a guys' trip to San Francisco. However, after seeing the auto-pilot function, the Beer Bar Buddies doubt Quagmire's flying skills... which are put to the test when their plane back (Flight 07) gets hijacked by terrorists.
Plot[]
At the Drunken Clam, Glenn Quagmire meets with Peter Griffin, Cleveland Brown and Joe Swanson and tells them that he can get a discount for friends and family and bring them along on a trip, so they plan on going to San Francisco. They steal a cab meant for Lois who was originally going to a timeshare hosted by Donna Tubbs' sister Janet with Donna and Bonnie Swanson. As Peter unknowingly grabbed Lois's suitcase, Lois finds a sex doll resembling her in the suitcase as Lois commented that Peter was "bringing her" in the suitcase. When they arrive in San Francisco, they do random stuff like riding Segways and getting 'lesbian' haircuts while checking out the sights and Peter even sits on Stephen Curry's lap.
When the trip ends, Quagmire gives them a tour of the plane where they soon accuse Quagmire of goofing off while the plane was on autopilot which he claims to use while taking breaks. Quagmire takes offense to that and kicks them out of the cockpit. While flying, the plane gets hijacked by 3 terrorists from an unidentified Eastern European country who jam the frequency. The terrorists explain that they are going to punish America for supporting the other side of the unidentified Eastern European country in the civil war (implied it is Ukraine and the civil war is likely the War in Donbass). This hijacking is covered on the news by Tom Tucker and is watched by the Griffins, the Swansons, the Browns and the Quagmires.
Quagmire refuses to allow the terrorists entry to the cockpit, even when Peter is threatened at gun point. Joe and Cleveland decide to take matters into their own hands by going down to the cargo hold and retrieve a gun from Joe's bag. One of the terrorists discovers this and heads down to the basement with Peter as a human shield. Joe opens the landing gear, but Peter gets caught with the terrorist and they have a fight on the landing gear. Just as the two are about to make peace while flying over Yosemite National Park, Cleveland manages to hit the terrorist off as he falls to a watery grave into the river below.
When the trio go back up and knock out the remaining terrorists, they are hailed as heroes. When Quagmire comes out to congratulate them and informs everyone that the plane will land in Nevada, an additional terrorist (the mastermind and ringleader of the hijacking team, who was also in reserve just in case the plan went awry) posing as a businessman hijacks the plane where he plans to crash it into Las Vegas' biggest hotel with Rita Rudner in it. Before the plan is carried out, Quagmire uses a barrel roll to subdue the terrorist. Unfortunately, Quagmire gets angry at the passengers for not following the "Please Fasten Seatbelt" light that was turned on ("Oh come on. Doesn't anyone pay attention to the sign?"). However, fighter jets appear unaware that the hijackers have been taken care of. The plane is shot in its right wing, but a determined Quagmire manages to land the plane in a large lake and keep everyone safe.
As the passengers and co-pilot are tended by the EMTs and the damaged plane taken care of by the firefighters and the three remaining terrorists are also arrested by the FBI (with the police in tow and the media covering the averted crisis as well), Peter, Cleveland, and Joe thank Quagmire for saving them and apologize for judging his flight actions. Just then, a military plane comes with the guys' respective families to reunite with them. Peter and Chris have a chat about some of the charges Chris found on Peter's card from their time in San Francisco and suggests he keep some of his purchases private. As the various families plan to head back to Quahog and put the recent event behind them, Peter breaks the fourth wall and tells the audience "Oh, yeah, in case we didn't say, this was Spirit Airlines."

Trivia[]
- Peter breaks the fourth wall and calls on the animators twice to alter the scene. Once to fix his eye, and then to change the guys into X-Men characters.
- At the San Francisco Airport, one of the flight terminals reads "Terminal Cancer".
- Apparently Quagmire works at Spirit Airlines in this episode, despite having always worked at The Quahog Airport, since day one.
- Brian doesn't have any lines in this episode.
Cultural References[]
- The title and plot parody the film, "Passenger Fifty Seven".
- Peter has his Korean animator turn himself and the other beer bar buddies into X-Men characters.
- Lois mentions that she and the other girls had a planned trip to Donna's sister's timeshare planned. Donna has a sister named Janet from The Cleveland Show
- Melissa Etheridge's "Come To My Window" plays during the guy's trip to San Francisco.
- The kid in the treehouse is seen reading a MAD magazine.
- Lois and the other wives worry what their lives will be like, if their husbands die. This cues a cutaway gag, parodying The Golden Girls, depicting herself, Bonnie, Donna, and Kimi as old women, experiencing the theme song and doing a short scene, where they act like characters of the show.
