Switch (02:01)

	Season 5 / Episode 6: - 316 Jack Shephard: And the other people on this plane, what's gonna happen to them? Ben Linus: Who cares?
	Season 5 / Episode 6: - 316 Frank Lapidus: [to Jack] Wait a second. We're not going to Guam, are we?

FACT: On the flight to Guam there is a lighted sign in the aircraft that says "No Smoking / Fasten Seat Belt / Use Seat Bottom Cushion for Flotation". Transoceanic flights are required to have life rafts and life jackets for every passenger. "Seat Botttom Cushion" equipped aircraft are restricted to overland flights and those that stay within just a few miles of the coastline.
FAIR: During the flight back to the island, Jack is nervous and asks Ben "How can you read?" Ben calmly responds "My mother taught me." Ben's mother died during Ben's birth. This is not an error. Ben was merely being flippant with Jack.
CONT: Every time Locke's envelope is shown, the handwriting is different. Also, sometimes Jack's name is in pencil and sometimes it's in ink.
CONT: At the start of the episode Jack wakes Kate up on the Island. Kate asks if they are back. When the scene is replayed later in the episode, when time catches up to the present time, Jack wakes Kate though she does not ask if they are back.
SYNC: During the Flight 316 crash scene the plane makes noises like an empty barrel as if fuselage panels were banging against each other. Even in severe turbulence airplanes don't make such sounds. Usually it's just plastic panels squeaking and rattling.

While he is waiting to board the plane, Hurley can be seen reading the graphic novel "Y: The Last Man." Its author, Brian K. Vaughan, has been a co-producer on a large number of recent Lost episodes (although not this one).
SPOILER: The book Ben reads during the flight is "Ulysses" by James Joyce (I).
WILHELM SCREAM: The scream can be heard as the flight attendant is being tossed against the cabin wall.
