On the last day of the year a 36-year-old, soon to get married Soviet doctor Zhenya Lukashin goes to banya with his friends, where they heavily drink. They subsequently go to airport, as one of them has to leave for Leningrad. However, due to all of them being drunk, Zhenya accidentally gets sent to Leningrad instead of his friend. He wakes up without realizing he’s now in a different city, and his live is about to take a very unexpected turn.
Tupolev Tu-114
A Tu-114 is seen in front of old Domodedovo terminal, where Moscow airport scene was filmed. This is a factual mistake, as in Soviet times there were no flights to Leningrad from this airport.
Lukashin en route to Lenginrad falls asleep on his fellow passenger (played by director Eldar Ryazanov). This scene was also filmed inside Tu-114.
Tupolev Tu-134
However, when his flight is shown outside, it's a Tu-134. A scale mockup was used to film the scene.
A real Tu-134 is then shown landing.
Passengers are exiting the airplane in Pulkovo. A Tu-134 reg. CCCP-65611 (s/n 7350204) is seen behind. To the left of it, a tail of Tupolev Tu-104 is also visible.
Couple seconds later, a tail of another Tu-134 is behind the window.
Tu-134 far away in the upper right corner.

A parked Tu-104 engine #2 exhaust and right landing gear in front of Pulkovo terminal.
Lukashin finds a taxi. Tu-104B registered СССР-42448 (s/n 921005) is behind. The same plane of Leningrad UAS can also be seen in Sibiriada and Shag navstrechu films. A few Tupolev Tu-134 tails are visible behind it.
