I think that kind of thing has not got any significance. Many flashbacks have shown us something about why a character took this flight, and not one earlier or later. Thats just what happens all the time in real life.
When a train or plane crashes, you always get stories by people who would have been on that train/plane but somehow did not, and then someone else who got on it but hadn't planned to.

True for most. EG Sayid skipped a flight so he could bury his muslim friend in Sydney, and ended up on 815.
But Hurley - pursued the numbers to Australia and ended up on the plane that crashed on the source of the numbers.
Claire - was signing adoption papers in Australia, but none of the pens worked and she changed her mind. Malkin then gave her the ticket for 815.
Eko - his drugs plane crashed on the island, with his dead brother on board. Then Malkin's daughter delayed his initial departure from Sydney, and Malkin ended the delay so that Eko ended up on 815.
Those three at least, you can't help feeling they were pushed/pulled towards the island.

I see your point. But I wouldn't put Claire on the list.
Hurley and Eko? Yes, for them the island is special. For Hurley, its where the numbers have a meaning (not that we know what that is exactly) and from where they came. And for Eko, its where his brother body rests.
With less significance than that, Desmond arrived on the island before Jack, but its a person he met only once so thats no more special than any other crossover.
For all the other people, as far as I know, anything thats special about the island happened
after the crash.

Malkin is a fraud - is his daughter the real deal?
