the airbag light is probably just a low voltage fault that has come up as a result of your battery going flat, indicating that the system does not have enough voltage to fire the airbag system should it be asked to. Go to a dealer to get this reset or someone who has the cable and software to do it for you.
Connection to the battery for jump starting is the normal way to do it.
why has your battery gone flat? there are heaps of reasons for a flat battery, rangeing from a dodgy alternator to a faulty circuit that is drawing current when it is supposed to be off, could even be a partial short circuit that is drawing current.
if the battery is greater than 3 years old then it could also be the cause and just needs replacing.
when you had the jump start did they check the battery condition and check the alternator charging circuit?
