Plot hole: The snakes are contained in the cargo hold which is shown to be unpressurised on this aircraft (there is an altimeter which releases the snakes after it hits 35000 feet - if the hold was pressurised it would level off at cabin pressure, which is about 8,000 feet). A cargo door is left open to allow the snakes into the passenger compartment, but this would either cause the plane to not pressurise properly, causing everyone on board severe breathing problems if not worse, or would keep the hold at cabin pressure, meaning the altimeter would never reach the right level to release the snakes.
Snakes on a Plane (2006)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: David R. Ellis
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Julianna Margulies, Nathan Phillips, Rachel Blanchard
The co-pilot dies and to get all the snakes out Samuel L jackson shoots out a couple of windows. The raft in the stairwell becomes dislodged and all the snakes are sucked out through the now large hole in the side of the plane. One of three g's bodygaurds lands the plane because he had the most experiance playing "flight simulator." Sean Jones presumably testifies against the japanese mobster and samuel L jackson learns how to surf.

Neville Flynn: Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!
Trivia: The poster for this movie features two snakes wrapped around a plane in a double helix style, with the film title across the middle, However some posters feature the same snakes/planes but with the title underneath. Take a closer look at this second type of poster and match each snake's head to its tail. if you match the right snaked head to the left tail the other snake head doesn't match up to the tail. Try this in any combination you like, ie. left head/left tail or right head/left tail. You will always be left with a head not matching a tail.

Answer: It depends on whose airspace you are in when it occurs, whether or not anyone else sees you (public indecency), the laws of the nation that the airline is based in, etc.
