This answer you gave us

"1, because it didnt say the people were on the plane"

Is only consitent IF there was a starting point designated. With that I mean if in that little story you were told where you where currently standing. [ France, USA ] etc etc. Cause there aint that many people who go to a different country specially via plane to see their grandma.
