Lapidus was another red herring, to make us think they were going to leave in the plane all along. Lost has given us many of those over the years. However, I'm crossing my fingers he washes up ashore at the last minute to heriocally fly the plane home.
It's not unrealistic to think that in an alternate timeline for some reason the people who were on that flight seemed to have remembered the flight number because for some reason it seemed signifigant at the time although they had no idea why yet.
