Monk has to choose between being on his own without Sharona and flying cross-country to New Jersey. He overcomes his fears and boards the plane with Sharona. After annoying every passengers and crews with his first-time-flyer questions, he becomes even more unsettled when he suspects one of the passengers has murdered his wife and the woman accompanying him is an impostor. He then called the captain and persuaded Lt. Disher to search the airport for a body. While Monk was trapped in the toilet, another murder is committed. Monk must solve the case before the murderous couple board their plane for Paris.

Episode Notes
 
Sharona spots Timothy Daly on the flight and says to Adrian "He was in the programme, Wings.". Adrian says "Never saw it." to which Sharona replies "Well, he was good.". Tony Shalhoub himself was in the programme Wings as Antonio Scarpacci. As Monk passes him in the aisle, Daly gives him a brief look of recognition, followed by a look of confusion.
 
Brooke Adams (Leigh) is Tony Shalhoub's wife in real life.
 
Andy Breckman who is the executive producer for this show, appears as a nonspeaking passenger on Monk's plane as his name comes onscreen in the opening credits.
 
Ted Levine (Captain Stottlemeyer) does not appear in this episode.

Warren Beach: (seeing Monk wipe his hands) I'm not sick.
Sharona: No, he is.
 
Flight attendant: Let me guess. First time on a plane?
Monk: Oh, no, no. I've been on a plane before.
Flight attendant: Where did you go?
Monk: I didn't actually go anywhere. Before we took off, I was crying so much that they asked my mother and me to leave the plane.
Sharona: Tell her how old you were.
Monk: I was twenty- (pause) seven.
 
Warren Beach: You know how they say your seat cushion floats? Not all of them do. I don't want to talk about it any more.

Sharona: He always thinks people are killing each other.
Monk: That's true and I'll tell you why. Because they are
 
Randy: (on the phone) Are you really up there in an airplane?
Monk: It's better than being up here not in an airplane.
 
Monk: (watching a plane take off) How can they fly? They're made of metal. They weigh two hundred tons. Plus now you're adding all those magazines.
