The voice speaking on the podcast is that of Dan Carlin, known well for his own real podcast, "Hardcore History".
At the airport newsstand, there are magazine covers showing Samir from The Comedian (2019) and Oliver Foley from The Wunderkind (2019).
"The Pilot" introduces himself as Joe Beaumont. He is named after writer Charles Beaumont who wrote many of the classic episodes of the original Twilight Zone series.
The podcast that Justin is listening to references two other aircraft mysteries. The first one referenced is Flight 22 from Miami Beach which is from Twenty Two (1961). The second flight referenced (Flight 107 out of Buffalo) references the flight that makes up The Arrival (1961) of the Twilight Zone, The Arrival.
