Trivia
This was filmed at Gatwick Airport in the south terminal while it was closed during the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the security staff were asked to be extras and I was one of them, although didn't make it into the film unfortunately.

Goofs
As the group are boarding the plane, there is a shot of the exterior of the plane. It clearly has its engine covers on and is not prepared for flight.

Quotes
Edward: You use statistics much like a drunk uses a lamp post.
Charles: Excuse me?
Edward: For support, rather than illumination.

Different, Not Necessarily In A Good Way

Northern Comfort is certainly different. It's a novel plot with an opportunity for it's characters to be endearing, but instead follows individual arcs where none of them are particularly likeable.

A small group of people with a fear of flying undertake a course to overcome their phobia. Through a series of unfortunate circumstances, they find themselves marooned in Iceland. Whilst the the plot does get going, for a relatively short film it doesn't fly by at all.

It's quirky, but fails to capture enough attention to be able to recall the names of the characters. The comedy is weak, provided through the unconventional or deadpan. Some beautiful scenery is showcased, but you could watch an advert from the Icelandic tourism board for that.
