How did that happen?

Lewis was trying to transfer from one flight to another and suddenly found himself in an embarrassing situation when he discovered that his wallet was missing. However, he was still able to use the Find My network connected to his AirTag to track the location of his wallet, which he claimed was on the American Airlines flight. However, the airline claimed that it searched the plane extensively and found no trace of the wallet.

This certainly highlights the advantages of having trackers like AirTag, as the device has proven useful in tracking lost luggage several times. However, it should be noted that AirTag is not always accurate and may not work in all situations. AirTag is still a useful tool for travelers despite its limitations.
