When Your iPad Parties Harder Than You

Discovering your forgotten iPad returned is a relief, but opening it to find a gallery of goofy selfies by flight attendants and airport staff? Priceless. This rare digital guestbook highlights the lighter side of the airline crew and reminds us that approximately 85 percent of lost items on planes are eventually reunited with their owners.

Each selfie is proof of the journey items take, even when left behind. It’s a quirky silver lining that transforms a typical travel mishap into a collection of candid memories, courtesy of those who ferry us (and occasionally our forgotten belongings) safely from sky to ground.
