The working titles for this story were Zanadin, Xeraphin and Time into Flight.
Doctor Who was the first television show allowed to film at London Heathrow Airport. As for airports, the 1967 serial The Faceless Ones was filmed, and took place, at Gatwick. The Concorde used for the production was G-BOAC, the flagship of the BA fleet. The registry can be read from the radar screen in the ATC scenes. The other registry, G-BAVF, was not a Concorde, but a Beechcraft 58 twin-engined light executive aircraft
Although Adric had been killed in the previous episode, Matthew Waterhouse's contract extended into the filming of Time-Flight, the reason for Adric's illusory appearance in Part Two. Tegan's apparent departure from the series was never intended to be permanent. It was planned to provide a sort of cliffhanger ending to the season. She returned in the second episode of the next story, "Arc of Infinity".

—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”

“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
