When you think about it, being trapped inside a tube tens of thousands of feet in the air is already a weird situation to willingly put yourself into.

They both plan to act on their murderous desires when they get to the destination of their trip, but their plans are altered when they discover a trio of criminals are already in the cabin they planned to stay in.
