Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird does some last-minute packing at his nest in preparation for today's big trip to Hawaii! Big Bird is extra excited since this will be the first time he will become airborne - aboard an airplane, that is - while Mr. Snuffleupagus can't wait to see his relatives. Snuffy leaves to do some packing of his own (just needing to bring his toothbrush and comb) while Big Bird has some difficulty getting his beachball to fit in his suitcase. Bob and Maria check on him and show that the ball will fit easily if he just lets all the air out of it first. Big Bird is relieved, as now he believes there's room for his giant travel bag of birdseed.
 	SCENE 1cont'd	Mr. Hooper and Olivia wait for everybody else at the bus stop, in spite of Big Bird insisting to wait for Snuffy and Oscar's stubbornness to leave on time. Once everybody boards the bus, Snuffy comes back too late and begins to chase after them.

 	SCENE 2cont'd	As everybody goes through to get their bags checked, the security officer (Dale Soules) explains to Oscar (adorned with an aviator's cap and scarf) the purpose of the metal detector, explaining how it's used to make sure that nobody boards the plane with anything that is considered dangerous. Once all the grown-ups pass through Oscar reluctantly does the same while inside his trash can, causing the detector's alarm to go bonkers. The officer orders Oscar to remove everything inside that contains metal, so the Grouch begins handing her some tin cans, a horseshoe, and a long chain, which is only the beginning... ("Wait'll she gets to the anvil at the other end!")

 	SCENE 3 	A huge pile of Oscar's metal belongings now litter the place ("I couldn't bring everything, I'm traveling light," says the Grouch), and Oscar successfully passes through the metal detector.

 	SCENE 4 	While exploring the airport tarmac, Big Bird meets pilot Captain Cooney (Jim Thurman) who teaches him all about the parts of an airplane.

 	SCENE 5 	The gang is about to board their plane until Maria says they can't do so until everybody is there. They wonder if the stewardess has seen Big Bird and describe what he looks like; she finds the idea of such a character unbelievable until she meets him face to face. As they file into the plane Big Bird tries to get the others to wait for Snuffy, whose description equally baffles the stewardess when she questions about him. Bob and Maria accuse Big Bird of having a wild imagination as they lead him into the plane, then realize they don't know where Oscar is. The stewardess finds Oscar's appearance to be just as confusing as Big Bird and Snuffy's when she witnesses Bob and Maria dragging Oscar's can into the plane.

 	SCENE 6cont'd	... and they're off! The gang views how small the world looks down below as Big Bird spots cousin Murgatroyd flying by.

Big Bird isn't too keen on the food she offers (he thinks the fancy meal looks like toy food) and asks for some birdseed instead. Meanwhile Oscar complains about his own order: all of the food isn't mixed together. He perks up when he gets his request for coffee, tea, and milk all in one cup, sickening the stewardess to her stomach.
