Donna Jensen: Ya think?
Co-Pilot Steve: I'm a pilot. It's my job to know where people are going.
- In an interview for the film 'Thanks for Sharing', in which she also starred, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she thought 'View From the Top' was a terrible film. This interview can be seen as a bonus feature on the DVD release of 'Thanks for Sharing'.
- George Kennedy: The veteran of the Airport movies (Airport (1970), etc) is the man in first-class who declines Donna's offer of champagne and caviar.
- The segment where the trainee flight attendants at Royalty Airways are undergoing training by Mike Myers's character included a lesson on how to deal with terrorists. The scene was cut from the film, and was not included on the DVD release as a deleted scene.
- Cameo: [George Kennedy] The veteran of the Airport movies (Airport (1970), etc) is man in first-class who declines Donna's offer of champagne and caviar.
- This film wrapped filming in 2001, and was originally scheduled for a Christmas 2001 release, then after initial tests, an April 2002 release. However, after the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001, the studio felt it was not appropriate to release a comedy which made light of airline flight crews. After another year in the can, and another round of edits which cut out cameo appearances by Robert Stack and Regis Philbin, the film was finally released in summer 2003. It promptly flopped and disappeared.
