‘Home Alone’ airport scene resurfaced in hilarious PSA party – as 1 in 4 admit to leaving essentials at home when traveling

Don’t be left behind this Christmas.

If you thought the crazy airport scene in Home Alone was just Hollywood, you’d be wrong, according to a new poll.

Of the 2,000 adults who have booked a flight, 13 percent admitted to missing an early morning alarm — or hitting the snooze button one too many times — before an important trip away, while 51 percent said they left an essential item in humanity

Like the McAllisters in the treasured 1990 classic, 18 per cent of travelers said they had been late at the airport at least once – leading to very stressful situations.

Three percent said they had even left a member of their party behind – by accident, of course.

Luton Airport, located near London, commissioned the study as part of a holiday travel season campaign to promote on-time arrival at the gate – even hiring actors for a funny PSA that recreates the famous last-minute rush from the movie vacations through Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. .

The goal of the campaign, officials told SWNS, was to remind passengers to plan, pack — and set an alarm — in advance to ensure nothing, or no one, is left behind.

In one clip, viewers can see a look-alike of Kevin McCallister (Tyler Stringer) walking through a UK airport, applying aftershave to his face in a duty-free shop (and reacting accordingly afterwards) , stopping at a clothing store to dance with a mannequin. , and harassing an employee with a tarantula (a fake one).

“Christmas comes with extra pressures – and extra things to remember – which means travelers are more likely to forget things,” an airport spokesman said.

“We hope our campaign will provide passengers with a simple and friendly reminder of how to plan ahead, what to pack and, of course, set that all-important early morning alarm.”

Airport dos and don’ts on vacation, according to experts

  1. Airline policies vary widely, so check the airline’s guidelines before packing gifts and holiday snacks, and if you’re bringing gifts, please don’t pre-wrap them because airport security may need to opens them for you to check what’s inside.
  2. Write that important checklist in advance to make sure you bring key travel documents, confirmations, medicine and gifts ready.
  3. Try to get seven hours of sleep before your flight so that you are wide-eyed and refreshed before your journey.
