that's kinda like Home Alone...
...mixed with Planes, Trains and Automobiles,

and a bit of Uncle Buck thrown in for good measure.

You are absolutely spot on.
It started the moment we left Heathrow and my mate lost his lucky hat. We thought they'd put us in first class, only to find out there had been a mixup (we weren't even booked in first class, but they insisted until it got sorted out). The air stewards felt bad and made up for it by plying us with free booze the entire journey. We lost our luggage, got picked up by a bunch of rich middle-aged women ('creditcard's behind the bar lads') and got into a fight with a guy who looked like Action Man (and when the anger diffused he gave us a tour of his favourite restaurants). Throughout the trip I had Chris Rea's 'Driving Home for Christmas' in my head.

And then some terrorists took over the airport, and I had to defeat them before I could get home to my daughter
Yipee iy-ay, motherfucker.

Unfortunately not.
They were nice (paying for the booze), but the wrong side of slightly ropey.

The strangest bit was the bloke who came along and was an ex of one of the women. He sat there sipping Coca Cola and scowling at everyone else - as she was putting it about up and down the bar. She said they'd split up ages ago and he just wouldn't get the message, but it could have been that they were a couple and just got off on her messing around while he watched.

well either way
I think this all contains the majority of a movie script.
It's not quite a re-make as a medley of movies.

So do you think it can be sold to Hollywood?

It's alright, it's in the post.
I like the title - it can be a low budget Brit-flick starring a couple of blokes off the street and that woman who used to be in Eastenders.

well then
this script seems to be writing itself.

That's right,
I think we sit back and watch the money roll in...
