No, I'm positive he'll be in later episodes. Why else would he talk to Jack, and then be the only person in the part of the plane that Hurley bought out? He was emphasized for a reason. He's also Indian, and I definitely think Ajira Airlines is just a front for some other organization (remember the Ajira Airlines waterbottle?) ... everyone involved seemed to know something was up. I think Ben sneaked Aaron on board somehow, too. I mean, everything had to be the same, didn't it? They all had to go back. Is Aaron an exception because he wasn't born at the time? I don't think so.
Frank Lapidus' "we're not going to Guam, are we?" killed me. It was hilarious <3.
It also seems very plausible that Ben went to see Des and Penny, like the Man said; iirc he called Jack from a payphone on a dock - Penny and Desmond live on a houseboat :o
Was anyone else weirded out about Eloise actually explaining something? I mean, this show has been on for 4 years and that was the first time that they actually flat out EXPLAINED something. I agree with Del Murder's comment about the premise and style - the pacing of the show has totally changed. I like it, but it feels like a totally different show now.
