Tried phoning this company which charges premium rates and all you get is a recording. The arrival airport was Belfast. Why was it taken back to London 🤔.
@Paddygray1 Sorry about that! Items left on board are handed into the lost property office at the arrival airport, so your iPad must have only been found on the return journey. Please check with Smarte Carte, who handle London Heathrow lost property here: Kimbers.

I love these scams this is the fourth I have received from different bits on different platforms. Just want to alert those decent friends and colleagues who follow me. Also be aware of scam airline responses.
@Paddygray1 @GLA_Airport @londonheathrow Hi, sorry to hear that your flight got cancelled. I am a Journalism Student from UCA, we are looking for the people who have been affected by Heathrow's closure. Could I speak to you about how the Heathrow fire is affecting you? please.

Arrived @BELFASTCITY_AIR from Amsterdam just now. 2 luggage collection belts. Belt 1 doesn’t have Amsterdam shown . A number of us go to belt 2 and same. We walk back and told we can’t go back to belt 1 even though bags arriving there. What’s that all about @BELFASTCITY_AIR 🤔.
