Completely flat as in doors would not open, steering lock not releasing, no lights on dashboard... Or flat as in engine not turning over? Could it have been just enough power at airport to start and not too far to drive home so it never charged? Previously..

Batteries do have a tendency to just die sometimes, even new ones. Other option is current leak somewhere and last is alternator gone (causing a current leak or not charging although for that you should get a warning light).

Mine will sit for 4 weeks and start first touch of the key. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!

Check for damp/water in the near side rear compartment where the sat nav and radio units are.

How old is battery?

In my experience if it is 5 years ish - then cut your losses and get a new one.......

Been there done that......
