MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: While the Winchester brothers hail from Lawrence Ks, which is in Douglas county, the plates on their car are registered in Sedgwick county, nearly three hours away.
FACT: When the plane first takes off with Sam and Dean on it, we hear it lift off the ground and the tires go up. The tires would never have gone up that early and would have been down for a couple thousand feet at least as a safety precaution.
CHAR: At the beginning, the man who is possessed is sitting several rows and on the other side of scared guy. Then scared guy at the mental hospital says "he was a passenger, he was sitting right in front of me".

TRIVIA

Dean says this situation is a little different than hovering over beds and spitting up pea soup. This is a reference to the movie The Exorcist (1973).
When calling Amanda Walker in the airport, Dean introduces himself as Dr. James Hetfield (I), a reference to the Metallica front-man.
The song that Dean is humming to calm himself down on the plane is called "Some Kind of Monster" by Metallica.
When Dean and Sam are talking with Jerry Panowski about a possible poltergeist, a co-worker walks by and says: "Poltergeist (1982)? I love that movie!" This comment was added in post and was not stated during filming.
