Plot[]
Caillou tries to buckle himself in. But Caillou's Daddy helps Caillou get buckled. Caillou's Daddy says to Caillou to sit back. Caillou's Mommy asks if Caillou is behaving. Caillou tells Caillou's Mommy and Rosie that they have to sit back. The plane takes off. Caillou's Daddy tells Caillou that some little white things are houses. Caillou asks Caillou's Daddy if they are there yet. Then the flight attendant asks Caillou if he would like some breakfast. Caillou says "Breakfast? Yes!." Caillou never had breakfast on a plane! A few minutes later Caillou's Daddy listens to some music. Caillou turns it up because he is curious about everything. Caillou's Daddy takes off the headphones because it was too loud. Then the pilot asks Caillou if he wants to see how he drives the plane. Caillou says "OH YES!" Then the plane driver says hello Caillou. Then Caillou sees clouds and gets scared. Caillou's Daddy says they are clouds. The pilot gives Caillou a special pilot badge and says he will have to go back to his seat. The flight attendant says have a wonderful vacation!

Trivia[]
- This episode is considered dated because Caillou and Daddy are invited to the flight deck. In the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the cockpit on all airliners are now locked so hijackers can't storm it, and passengers are no longer allowed to be inside of it at all to avoid a hijacking. To date, though, the scene has not been deleted, meaning many younger viewers who have never flown likely have pre-conceptions about airline etiquette and security.
- Even more unusual is that the scene was left in the 2011 book adaptation.
- Gilbert is absent in this episode.
- After this episode, Boris misses three episodes: Rosie Bothers Caillou, Caillou Goes Birdwatching and Caillou and the Doll.
