Apples AirTag has certainly been helping a lot of people around the world
find their lost items, especially lost luggage at airports. This time,
however, a passenger named John Lewis simply forgot his wallet on an
American Airlines aircraft. Although the airline says it couldnt find the
wallet, Lewis saw his wallet fly to 35 different cities thanks to AirTag.
As shared by the passenger on his personal Twitter account (via People), he
forgot his wallet on the plane after being late to catch a connecting flight
following a one-hour delay in his initial flight. Finding lost objects in
situations like this is not exactly easy, but Lewis had put an AirTag in his
wallet.
With AirTag, users can see the location of their items through the Find My
network, which uses the Apple devices connected around the accessory to
share their location with the AirTag owner. As expected, Lewis was able to
see exactly where his wallet was, but American Airlines told him that they
couldnt find it after cleaning the plane.
Im able to trace my wallet and its still on the plane and it has gone to
over 35 cities since Tuesday, the passenger said in a video. He contacted
the airline multiple times, but they insisted they had no idea where his
wallet was. They said they thoroughly cleaned the plane, but how can you
thoroughly clean the plane if the wallet is still on the plane and you
havent gotten it yet?
After reaching out to American Airlines on Twitter, the airline asked the
passenger for more details about the current location of the wallet.
However, a tweet from yesterday suggests that the company has yet to find
the lost wallet.
AirTag can be extremely useful for traveling
Since AirTags were released in 2021, weve seen a few stories about how
theyve been used to track down lost luggage. In one instance, an airline
employee in Florida was caught with over $15,000 of stolen luggage thanks to
an AirTag. Another story saw newlyweds returning from their honeymoon track
down lost luggage using an AirTag.
Of course, that doesnt mean that AirTag works in every situation, or that
its extremely accurate. But the accessory has proven to be useful on many
occasions.
Apples AirTag costs $29, but you can buy a 4-unit pack for $99.
