At the Drunken Clam, Glenn Quagmire meets with Peter Griffin, Cleveland Brown, and Joe Swanson and tells them that he can get a discount by bringing friends and family along on trips, so they plan on going to San Francisco. They steal a cab meant for Lois who was originally going to a time share hosted by Donna Tubbs' sister Janet with Donna and Bonnie Swanson. As Peter unknowingly grabbed Lois' suitcase, Lois found a sex doll resembling her in the suitcase as Lois commented that Peter was "bringing her" in the suitcase. When they arrive at San Francisco, they do random stuff like riding segways and getting lesbian haircuts while checking out the sights and Peter even sits on Stephen Curry's lap.

When the trip ends, Quagmire gives them a tour of the plane where they soon accuse Quagmire of goofing off while the plane was on autopilot which he claims to use while taking breaks. Quagmire takes offense to that and kicks them out of the cockpit. While flying, the plane gets hijacked by terrorists from an unidentified Eastern European country who jam the frequency. The terrorists explain that they are going to punish America for supporting the other side of the unidentified Eastern European country in the civil war. This hijacking is covered on the news by Tom Tucker and is watched by Lois Griffin, Chris Griffin, Meg Griffin, Stewie Griffin, Brian Griffin, Dan/Ida Quagmire, Donna Tubbs, Cleveland Brown Jr., Roberta Tubbs, Rallo Tubbs, Bonnie Swanson, and Susie Swanson.

Quagmire refuses to allow the terrorists entry to the cockpit, even when Peter is threatened at gun point. Joe and Cleveland decide to take matters into their own hands by going down to the shipping lane. One of the terrorists discovers this and heads down to the basement with Peter as a human shield. Joe opens the landing gear, but Peter gets caught with the Russian and they have a fight on the landing gear. Just as the two are about to make peace, Cleveland manages to hit the Russian off as he falls to the river below.

When the trio go back up and knock out the remaining terrorists, they are hailed as heroes. When Quagmire comes out to congratulate them and informs everyone that the plane will land in Nevada, an additional terrorist posing as a businessman hijacks the plane, planning to crash it into Las Vegas. Before the plan is carried out, Quagmire uses a barrel roll to subdue the terrorist. However, fighter jets appear unaware that the hijackers have been taken care of. The plane is shot in its right wing, but a determined Quagmire manages to land the plane in a large lake and keep everyone safe.

As the passengers are tended to and the remaining terrorists are arrested by the FBI, Peter, Cleveland, and Joe thank Quagmire for saving them and apologize for judging his flight actions. Just then. a military plane comes with the guys' respective families to reunite with them,. Peter and Chris have a chat about some of the charges Chris found on Peter's card from their time in San Francisco and suggest he keeps some of his purchases private. When the different families plan to head back to Quahog and put this entire thing behind them, Peter quotes to the viewers "Oh, yeah, in case we didn't say, this was Spirit Airlines."
