Mom forgot she turned her notifications to silent to watch a movie the night before. Mom got no sleep and hit snooze. Mom forgot to charge her phone and it died. Dad tripped over the charging cable and knocked it out. Power went out and the phone didn’t charge so it died. Heck, you could even have a carrier fuck up maintenance and knock out cell service across the country for their customers.
The mom uses location data to confirm everyone is in the same place, and everyone is too busy staring at their phones to notice anything. The entire movie is now an allegory for the risks of doomscrolling.
They all were gifted bluetooth headsets for the trip, but the headsets never disconnect and the alarms went through the headsets which weren’t loud enough.
Kevin was in trouble at the start of the film. They could have very easily had his mom take his phone away before sending him to his room.
After arriving in Paris, Kevin’s mom frantically calls his phone… only for a suitcase to start ringing. Oops!
Yes but they wouldn’t have slept in since their phones’ alarms would still work, and they wouldn’t have forgotten Kevin.

Unless everyone in the family has the same thing happen to all of their phones they’ll still wake up everyone else.
