Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the film when Cynthia is talking to the two hotel guests, if you watch closely, the man's shirt is buttoned up to the top, and in the following shot the top button is undone.
Continuity mistake: Lisa has bouncy, dark brown hair throughout the movie until the final scene in the hotel lobby. She has come straight from her Dad's home but her hair is now red and nowhere near as bouncy as it was in the previous scene.
Other mistake: When the Deputy Secretary of Homeland security is on TV at the airport while everyone is waiting out the flight delay, his title is spelled wrong, as "Deputy Secretary of Homeland Securty", on the TV screen. It is corrected on the change in the shot. (00:14:38)
Continuity mistake: When Jackson and Lisa are fighting in the bathroom and he begins to wipe off the soap from the mirror, it's somewhat foamy. The camera zooms in on Jackson talking to Lisa. When the camera pulls back, the soap is mostly gone, with very little suds to show. I know soap evaporates, but not this quickly. Not to mention, he didn't get every word wiped off, but when the camera pulls back, there is no sign of anything actually written on the mirror.
Continuity mistake: The small wound on Lisa's forehead changes angle at the end of the film.
Continuity mistake: When Jackson is upstairs stalking Lisa and right after she grabs the club, we see her looking around the corner of the doorway. There's a cardboard box with the flap up. A few shots later we see the flaps horizontal.
Other mistake: The FL driver license of Lisa's dad has 327 Maryland Ave and not 9321 Blossom Palm lane. It's standard for the driver license to reference the actual residence address.
Character mistake: When the plane is landing, and we see out the window that landing is less than 10 seconds away, the captain says: "Cabin crew take your seats." By that point they should have been seated for a long time.
Plot hole: Lisa calls Cynthia and tells her to pull the hotel's fire alarm, which she does. Cynthia then physically goes up to the Keefe's suite to warn them something is wrong. Even though the fire alarm was pulled and it can be heard blaring in the lobby, the Keefes and the security team seem to have no idea that there is a problem until Cynthia knocks on the door and tells them to get out.
Continuity mistake: Characters' head positions change throughout movie. This starts from the first shot from Jack's left side, as they are in line for the counter. Jack is either reading the paper, or looking ahead, or to the left from Jack's right side. When the scene is filmed from the left angle Jack's head position is often the opposite. On the plane both Lisa and Jack show continuity problems in head position. Often the heads are forward, or toward each other when shot from the left angle, then facing each other from the other angle, without time or reason for the transition.
Other mistake: When Lisa is going through the airport to board the plane, she calls her father. She should be going to the check-in area; however, she was walking in the baggage claim area, where you return from flights. (00:05:20)
Continuity mistake: Jack's hairstyle changes throughout the film. The first shot of Jack in line shows a different style than any other shot in the film. Variations of styles with hair over forehead occur throughout, but hairstyles from different camera angles on the plane change from hair over forehead, to center part neatly exposing the forehead.
Answer: These are very tech-savvy terrorists. Not only would they be watching Keefe, but also Lisa, who is integral to their assassination plot. The assassins would have been monitoring their every move, intercepting cell phone calls, hacking into the hotel's and the airline's computers, and so on. It is unknown how Jackson got a seat right next to Lisa, but as it's a late-night flight, there would likely be fewer passengers and he could have managed to be seated next to her or somehow got the airline to switch him with another passenger.
