How they got out of the snow world (level 3) and then out of the van which was in the water, is what stumps me. They need a kick and killing themselves in limbo would only take them up a level. So they skipped levels 2 and 1 and he woke on the plane.

However, Cobb has been in limbo before and is smart. He may know of other ways to kick and get out, thus he wakes on the plane as the sedative wears off, as planned. He had time.

What a mind fuck of a movie.
