Not a whole lot of seating on that flight.

Similar concept, but the Barbie Family Home used a different mold and different lay-out, Skipper. Compare the "floor plan" and the plastic "roof/ handle" with Big Jim's Karate Studio…

The Country Living Home used the same roof mold, though.

More importantly, neither of those sets had a kickout wall or a Muscle Mover to let all Barbie figures move realistically -something that could have added substantial *cough* play-value.

You probably already know this, but Mattel first used those playsets–with different designs, of course–as Barbie's United Airlines FriendShip and the Barbie Family House/Country Living Home.
