Quite a few classic movies would not be a thing if cell phones were in the universe at the time.

I know they are rich and all, but I wouldn't give an 8 year old a cell phone. With homes as they are today there probably wouldn't be a land line. The movie is mostly the same, some of the boobie traps are slightly different is all.
I suppose once they get off the plane and turn off airplane mode they will get a doorbell notification about someone at the door and see it is Kevin looking around. Still the same though, can even have this be the moment they realize they left him behind.
the plot hole could be patched by him waking up after the plane takes off
You don't get it, Home Alone is a prequel to Damian and The Omen movies. Kevin was trying to kill people, and the movie is about how his joy made him susceptible to human feelings. He's like a failed demonic creature who couldn't handle earths pleasures. It's a commentary on Virgil.
Except that the alarm got killed by the phone's battery optimizer. I am using a 2011 smartphone as an alarm because of this. But Poco and Ulefone are definitely not the highest quality brands.
