Phone left on Ryanair flight, any chance I'll get it back?

sillysam

I flew into Dublin late last night and left my phone on the plane I was given a number for the cleaning company that Ryanair use which I rang this morning and was told there was nothing showing up under my flight number but to ring back tomorrow as the system is usually a day behind. I'm just wondering has anyone here ever left something on a flight and got it back? Im not feeling too hopeful

TIA

I left something behind on a first class flight with Emirates, discovered it while I was still in the airport and didn't get it back. I don't fancy your chances with Ryanair, but I really hope I'm wrong.

AAAAAAAAA

yeah my mum left her phone on a turkish airlines flight and we picked it up in person from them in istanbul

It's entirely down to the person who finds the phone. I'm guessing that Ryanair use the lowest price cleaning contractors, these are companies operating in a market where competition is fierce and hence they pay rock-bottom wages. Finding stuff of value is probably the only 'perk' of a crappy job. Draw your own conclusions.

IIRC choice is limited to Dnata and one other, so FR can't really cheap out at DUB. The aviation heads would know the detail.

Did the flight go out to another destination? If it did, it would have been spotted by the cabin crew and most likely handed to a ramp agent.

No it was the last flight of the day. I really hope I get it back, phone although new not worth alot just to me.

My friend left her Samsung 10.1'' tablet behind on a Ryanair flight to Malaga last year and the cabin crew handed it in to the Ryanair desk there.

However, as mentioned by others I guess it depends on who found it and whether the plane was going out soon again.

I left a Kindle and iPad on a Ryanair flight last year to Malaga - both were waiting for me in lost items in Malaga

Anything of value (Passports, Phones, tablets) found on Ryanair flights is handed into the Ryanair desk in arrivals.

If you're near the airport, call to the Customer Service Desk in Departures and they'll ring down and see if it's there.

Thanks rang again this morning still no sign of it not looking good tbh

I left a big book for learning Japanese language on a Ryanair flight... not something that many people could make a use of... I contacted them straight away (and then a day after), but they said that nothing was found...

My grandmother left her hangbag on board a ryanair flight in malta. It was fully of money, passport, ipad and her phone. Thankfully it was handed in by the Cabin Crew!

So only people in well paying jobs can afford to be honest? You're right, it all depends on who finds the phone but how much that person earns doesn't come into the equation.

I flew Ryanair to London, left ipad on the plane. I didn't realise it, but my job got an email from Ryanair to advise them they had found an ipad in my seat (as they had booked flight), and it was back in Cork for me when I got home.

Hopefully you get your phone OP!

What radical new branch of economics did you study? Of course there are honest people in all walks of life but if someone on a low wage who is trying to scrape a living, feed kids, pay the rent etc. finds something of value, it's more likely that they will hang on to it than if they are in a well paid job.

We will have to agree to disagree.

I hope you get it back. I left my phone in Gatwick airport and that was the last I ever saw of it I hope the lowlife who took the phone has experienced nothing but bad luck since.

if a phone or tablet goes missing, you can see do quiet a lot to recover it.

There is no truth to this at all. Total generalisation and *some* (not all) of the most dishonest people I've met have also been the wealthiest.

Have you contacted the arrivals department in swissport?

I've got things back on two occasions from Aer Lingus flights. Lost property office in Dublin and Heathrow sorted me out on both occasions.
