In the scene inside the airport right as you see the plane take off, Sean William Scott jumps and yells way before the plane actually explodes on screen. [That is because the Sonic Boom that bursts the windows takes time to get to them. That's how it would be in real life.]
Edit
When they are about to enter the plane, we see Alex, Todd and his brother walking the hallway to the plane, and right behind them, you can see Carter and his girl, but when they turn 90 degrees, we see Alex , Todd and his brother, but Carter and his girl are gone. [Carter and his "Girl", could have easily gotten lost in the crowd of students in the Terminal. There's no reason for students to cut in front of line, especially considering they are heading to Paris.]

Something to watch for, especially considering John Denver died in a plane crash. Whenever someone's about to die, listen for the song "Rocky Mountain High" by John Denver to play. The obvious one is when Ms. Lewton is about to die and she plays her mother's John Denver record. Next, after Todd shaves and cuts himself, he plugs in the radio and you think he's going to get electrocuted. What do you suppose is playing for about 3 seconds? At the beginning, when Alex is having the nightmare, he and Todd go to the bathroom, guess what's playing on the loudspeaker. Also at the end, when they are in France, the man playing the guitar is singing "Rocky Mountain High" in French. [Too blindingly obvious to be 'trivia']
Edit
In the "original" version of the plane crash you can see that Alex fastens his seatbelt in a direct closeup shot. When he awakens from his premonition the seatbelt should be fastened because he did so before Christa and Blake asked him to change places. He doesn't remove it though in the second version of the plane crash before he rushes to Todd. [The "original" version is his premonition of the plane crash and when he comes out of the premonition is where he should of put on his seatbelt. He doesn't ever actually put his seatbelt on because that is the point where he changes the future and cheats death.]

When Terri steps onto the road and is killed by the speeding bus, the bus is travelling from left to right when it hits her. But, if you look further down the street, where the bus supposedly had just come from (a few seconds earlier, during the dialogue between the other characters), the camera pans round and you can see a large yellow crane blocking off the entire road, so the bus could not have actually come from that direction. [If you look down the street when Alex sees the buses reflection the street is clear. When the speeding bus hits Terri it is diagonal and is coming from around the corner, not across the street where the crane was located.]
Edit
When Alex wakes up after his vision of the crash, he leaps out of his seat and tries to get off the plane. The male French teacher says 'Alex, qu'est-ce que c'est?' Literally translated, this means 'Alex, what is it?', but in a very literal sense; for example, you would say 'qu'est-ce que c'est' if you were asking what an unfamiliar object is. To say 'what is it' as in 'what's the matter', the teacher should have said 'Alex, qu'est-ce qu'il y a?' Would a 'veteran' French teacher have got this wrong? [Qu'est-ce que is an accepted means of asking what it is that woke Alex up. It may not be perfect French, but it is acceptable and understandable. I know of many instances where language teachers use whichever vernacular is going to be most quickly and easily understood by the student. Also, even language teachers don't always use perfect grammar.]

After Tod has died, Alex is walking under some trees and a leaf falls to the ground. The wire attached to the leaf is visible as it falls. [Try as hard as I can, I cannot see any wire.]

When Billy looks out of the airport window, you can see that there was a model plane used when you see it take off. [It looks nothing like a model.]
Edit Corrected by Knever Time
In the last scene where Carter, Clear and Alex are in Paris, Clear sees the reflection of the bus. Shortly after that the bus hits the pole that flies up and unleashes the billboard that kills Carter. The pole cannot fly so high and cut the billboard loose. [Your reasoning makes no sense at all. Of course it can, and it did. What makes it unbelievable? It's certainly long enough.]
Edit Corrected by Knever
When the woman teacher is lying with the knife in her chest, Alex comes around the corner and she looks at him. There is barely any blood on her neck at that point despite it spurting in earlier shots. [Her neck is covered in blood in all of the shots.]
Edit Corrected by Knever
When the car explodes you can see that it has been cut in two before. [If you're talking about the explosion in which Alex grabs the electric wire so that Clear can escape, I found no evidence, going through it in slow motion, of your claim. If that's not the explosion that you're talking about, be specific about the scene in which it occurs.]

The plane explodes creating a rather small fireball. this shows us that it happened far away. Nevertheless the airport's windows are blown into pieces. Did you ever notice how heavy these windows usually are? They would never have been smashed by an explosion that far away. Could be argued that the plane was close enough to smash the windows, in which case the plane and explosion are too small. A mistake one way or another. [While the plane is far away, and the windows are rather heavy, have you ever seen, or even heard, an airplane explode? Especially one as big as the one they boarded? The sudden expansion of the air from the fireball would cause a sonic boom, which could easily shatter the windows.]
Edit
During Alex's premonition all the skin on his face burns off, but his hair is still intact. [It's a premonition, not fact. His premonition was not accurate, meaning he didn't see his hair burn, same as things being different in dreams.]
Edit
When Ms. Lewton takes out her mother's favorite record album, the label is obviously a fake. None of John Denver's albums had his name written that large on the label. [I think this is for two reasons: i) Copyright. ii) To show to the audience she is going to die by making the song obivious to them.]
Edit
When Carter pulls up in his new Nova, he is playing the Nine Inch Nails song, 'Into the Void' and just after he sees Alex he drives on when the song is on the first verse, but 3 seconds later it is right near the end, the song has skipped over 2 minutes. [Movies don't use real time, it could have been two minutes since he saw Alex.]
Edit
When Alex checks in his suitcase, watch carefully. The ticket that's attached to his suitcase says "Final destination". [This is not trivia. All airport tickets say this.]
Edit
The CG is very obvious when Ms. Lewton is wiping her teapot then sees the apparition reflected in it. [I thought this myself at first, but then I realized it was just the lighting that gave the scene that "poor CG" appearance. It looks that way in scenes that contain no CG as well.]

When the girl is hit by the bus, if you frame-by-frame, you see that the bus has no one on it, including a driver. [The rules of the site are clear. If it has to be viewed frame by frame it is not a valid mistake.]
Edit
Crew spotlights are reflected in the kettle. [Those are not reflections from the crew's spot lights, but rather the track lighting on the kitchen ceiling.]
Edit Corrected by EMTurbo
In scenes following the plane crash, authorities refer to the 'National Transportation AND Safety Board.' The NTSB is known as the 'National Transportation Safety Board,' without the word 'and.' [A lot of times people don't always know EXACTLY what an acronym stands for or what the agency's name is exactly so this would be a character's mistake, not a movie mistake.]
