On the second episode of this season (Season 5) that first aired October 17, 2001, Dawson was ready to board his plane when Joey intercepted him. The gate attendant kept announcing that his flight to LA was leaving from gate C-3. In the background, they were cleary at gate B-1, not gate C-3. The same woman who made the announcement asked Dawson if he would be boarding the plane. He asked her to hold on one moment. When the last call was made for boarding at gate C-3, Dawson did not board, so the gate attendant went ahead into gate B-1 and shut the door. I thought his flight was leaving from gate C-3? You'll find this at the very end of that episode.
