Kevin's dad was an executive for Boeing.

Boeing is headquartered in Chicago. He's rich. And it seems like it would make sense that he had an in with the airlines that could make all of those flights cheaper.

Wait
I thought you were saying that as a fact.

If that was true, her brother wouldn't have flown them all to Paris. And, his mom would have been on the first hop out in first class.

Not fact but very likely.

I thought peter flew them out and was paying for the vacation.

And just because he has connections doesn't
Wan they're a sure fire thing. Christmas travel is extremely difficult so I don't think it a plothole that the mother had a hard time coming back.

Also, there is a Kevin McCallister executive VP at Boeing right now in real life lol.

Their jobs are not mentioned in the film. The novelization says that his father is a successful businessman and his mother is a fashion designer, which accounts for all the mannequins that Kevin used to stage the "party".

True...since 2001.

He's the AVP for the Food Additive Division of Kraft Foods...Clarks biggest rival.

Their sense of timing for airport travel makes zero sense as a Boeing exec...

Apparently, they're connected enough to block their house on Google Street View. LINK

The Murphys did as well. LINK

The McCallisters were obviously an old Irish organized crime family with Rob being the head, Peter was second in command and kept the operation rolling while Rob laid low in Paris, and Frank was obiviously the muscle. They were rich as hell with no apparent means of income and all three lived in old organized crime strongholds
Rob-NYC
Peter-Chicago
Frank-Ohio (Probably somewhere around Cinncinatti or Cleveland)

My theory anway.

Seen that before in some other areas too. I wonder how or why you'd go about doing that.

Privacy. The owners were probably getting sick and tired of people gawking at them.

I think all you would have to do to get the house blocked is contact Google.

According to the official novelization of the film – written by Todd Strasser as a quick promotional tie-in – Mr. Peter McCallister is a prominent businessman (maybe a day trader?) and Mrs. Kate McCallister is a fashion designer, thus all the mannequins that Kevin was able to use in the party scene.

She probably wasn’t a couture designer, though. Likely she was designing outfits for Chico’s or Dress Barn. We also learned via the novelization that brother Buzz's pet tarantula is named as Axl.
