Was on a flight from Frankfurt to SEA about 2 years back, someone thought they were having a heart attack. Plane was about even between SEA and YVR, we took the most direct route to the runway and terminal I've ever taken coming into SEA over 200 flights. Especially since they kicked a plane coming in before us to the international terminal.

Other interesting tidbit, the person claimed to be fine about 30 minutes later after talking to 2 doctors. But the ground crew said they required people to go to the hospital now for a full eval.

I see, so if you want an expedited landing you need to convince one of the other passengers on the plane to fake a heart attack.

About right. I almost did this once by watching the pilot of Lost near landing on a flight to Hawaii in economy.
