I noted the problems with it. I observed the improbabilities. I'm watching the movie right now and now saw another one. Foster's character remembers having both boarding passes in her pocket. But now it was gone. Just as it would be highly irregular to take a kid out of a seat without her mother knowing, it would be almost impossible to remove a boarding pass of one's pocket and leave the other one without that person waking up. I like the movie. Foster's acting is incredible but that's just too much.

Different stroke for different folks.
It's a pretty terrible film.
Never before had I paused a film, for the express purpose of laughing and jeering at it.
Then came Flightplan.
What an absolutely mess of a movie

Yeah, the longer the film goes on, the dumber it gets.

Even if her daughter got on board the plane without notice, they couldn't know for sure to move to the next phase and kidnap her.

"What was that, an exhibition?"

It is maybe the stupidest, most clinically retarded big-studio thriller ever made. I'm not kidding.

She was taking sleeping pills and her husband had just died so she probably was too tired to notice.

It's one of those days...

Didn't the daughter asked to hold the boarding pass? So, the boarding pass was in her daughter's pocket.
