The series premiere introduces the shoestring budget airline crew and its eccentric passengers who, every weekend, take the roundtrip flight from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with one goal in mind: to come back a winner. It won't be easy, but this unlikely group of miscreants and dreamers will eventually go from being strangers on a plane to a supportive, if unconventional, family—well, at least from Friday to Sunday.
Ronnie recognizes that a regular passenger appears to be cheating on his wife and considers whether or not she should expose him. Captain Dave falls for an air traffic controller, but has trouble asking her out. Meanwhile, passengers get a little carried away when Jackpot Airlines installs credit card swipers to charge for just about everything on board.
Ronnie is evicted from her apartment and kicked out of Bernard's, so Captain Dave invites her to stay with him in a community of airline workers. Colin is flustered by his bad student reviews, so Nichole and Bernard sit in on his class to give him pointers, and Artem tracks down Dave to collect a debt.
When the flight is overbooked, the crew must find a way to get passengers to give up their seats without using force. Nichole makes a killing selling snacks while the flight is on hold, Artem argues with an unexpected seatmate and Ronnie's new love interest buys a ticket for her flight so they can spend more time together.
The eccentric owner of Jackpot Airlines, Jack Silver, is on the flight to Vegas, but when he discovers he'll be arrested upon arrival, he tries to hijack the plane and reroute it to Mexico. Then, while competing to impress Jack, Ronnie and Bernard are caught on camera in a compromising position, and Colin agrees to a bet with Artem and Nichole that he thinks he cannot lose.
Ronnie, Bernard and Dave are struggling at "Jackpot College" flight training, until they prove that when it comes to real-world flight emergencies, they can handle anything. After their flight is delayed, Colin, Artem and Nichole commit to playing a slot machine that they’re sure is due for a big win.
