Magician’s AirTag Trick Leads to Recovery of Lost Luggage

Magician Danny Orleans encountered a challenging predicament while traveling with United Airlines from Chicago to Newark when his bag vanished under mysterious circumstances. Nevertheless, he cleverly resolved the mystery and successfully retrieved his valuable possessions with the aid of an Apple AirTag. This unique trick certainly showcased an unprecedented feat.

As Insider reported, Danny had placed an AirTag on his bag. It’s a nifty little device that helps you track down items with your phone’s Find My app. When he landed in Newark, he checked the app on his phone and found that the bag had arrived safely with him.

But when Danny went to the baggage claim area, his bag was nowhere to be found. AirTag revealed that it was still sitting on the Newark tarmac, which contradicts what United customer service actually claimed. They claimed the bag didn’t even exist and offered to deliver it to her hotel in a few days, which wouldn’t work for her upcoming show.

AirTag rescue operation

Danny decided to get his bag back, he checked the AirTag location on the app and found it was near gate 90, even though his plane had landed at gate 113. The only way to get back to the airport was to buy another ticket, so he did just that. He bought a fully refundable ticket to Boston, went through security and arrived at Gate 90. Looking out the window, he noticed his bag sitting alone on the tarmac.

With the help of a United employee who was surprised by the situation, Danny managed to lift his bag off the tarmac. However, due to security protocols, he had to wait for it in the baggage area, causing a four-hour delay.

Chasing the lost bag

Despite the frustrating ordeal, Danny remained positive and described the adventure as a “happy ever after story”. His dedication and the help of AirTag ultimately saved the day as he recovered his essential audio equipment in time for his performance.

In a strange turn of events, United Airlines later emailed Danny, not to apologize, but to let him know they were still looking for his bag! Little did they know, the magician had already performed his own magic trick to get it back.

Finally, the story of Danny Orleans showcases the power and determination of modern technology in solving everyday problems. Using the AirTag and a little digital magic, he successfully drove his bag down and made sure the show went on without a hitch.
