Qantas Hong Kong - Missing iPad

[NinnyPoo]

Quick question on how to contact Qantas in HK (at the airport)

I left me iPad on the plane from AKL-SYD last night. That aircraft then went to HK as QF117. The same plane will return tonight as QF98 to Brisbane.
Find my Iphone has the iPad in the aircraft parking areas at HK airport.

Anyone know how to contact Qantas at the airport in HK ? SATS are not answering their phones. The Platinum line was polite but couldn't really help.

Thanks

the iPad is sending out a signal that it’s sitting at HKG. Gotta love the technology ! Didn’t know that worked in “flight mode” though.

You can try calling the Qantas lounge in Hong Kong. Friend of mine left something on board and they tracked it down and arranged for it to be sent back to Australia.

... Find my Iphone has the iPad in the aircraft parking areas at HK airport ..

After 24 hours it would be back in Oz by now? And still pinging?

Edit: Maybe trapped under the seat?

Thank all. The plane went back to BNE from HKG. HKG or BNE lost luggage don't have the iPad. Brisbane even went on the plane.
The iPad has stopped emitting any signal. WIll have to move on and procure a new one.

Find my iPhone and Brisbane Airport Security worked.. This AM i saw the iPad was at BNE International.
I phoned the lost property and it was held by them,

IPad went

SYD-HKG
HKG-BNE
BNE-Asia ?
Asia? - BNE

Soon to be re-united with the owner.

Does your iPad have a SIM in it? That's the only way I can see it could have reported in.

Looks like it did a return shuttle to HKG again (VH-EBO):

More importantly, missing SCs.

No SIM. I probably didn't have on Airplane Mode

As of iOS 13 Apple devices can use Bluetooth to talk to other nearby Apple devices which eventually results in the owner being able to locate the device. There's info on the Apple site.

Clever. Something useful from Apple for a change

Amazing to read a success story of the new tech working.

Must admit I'm amazed the battery didn't go flat sooner...

Have a look at an iPad teardown, they're 80%+ battery. If the screen is turned off and it doesn't use a SIM, they can last upwards of a week.
