When the emergency alarm is raised (and the plane is on the ground), all of the coffins get dropped off the bottom of the plane and they all drive their individual passengers off to safety. EDIT: Heck, I don't see why you couldn't also put a parachute on the thing.

People in a coma require a lot of specialized nursing care -- for example to avoid developing bed sores -- and anyone immobile for a long time risks cardiovascular problems and muscle atrophy. You can get quite deconditioned from just a week or two of bed rest. The "stasis" approach for long trips would probably have to be something higher-tech than just regular anesthesia...
