Trivia
The film's events are set around a real-world event. From March to May, 2010 there were a series of eruptions in the volcano Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland (which was dormant since 1823.) Volcanic ash and electrical storms from the eruptions caused a lengthy air travel disruption in many areas of Europe.

Goofs
The signs at the alleged "Ljubljana Airport" are in Dutch (Flemish) rather than Slovenian, indicating that the scenes were shot in Belgium.

wildly funny

I don't get the negative reviews. Granted, the humour is crude - but it is precisely it being over the top that makes it so great. I haven't laughed like that in a long time! It is very well written: all the seemingly insignifigant little elements turn out to have its comedic purpose sooner or later. Brilliant if you like this kind of brutal humour.
