Why does an airline tracker show my suitcase in a country I never visited?
Our answer
Crowdsourced tracker locations can be old or based on nearby devices; compare timestamp and airline tracing rather than trusting a single pin.
Why this approach makes sense
Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.
Before you try it
Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
