A Twitter user wrote on her account to ask for help and locate one of her tennis shoes that she lost during a flight she took with the airline AirEuropa, which went from Madrid to Ezeiza. The story went viral because she not only lost the pair but also put on another tennis shoe.
“If you traveled with AirEuropa on flight UX041 MAD-EZE on 06/11 and You took an Adidas sports shoe on the right foot, I have yours Puma brand”, wrote @jochiortega.

This made thousands of netizens sympathize with the girl and share her post so that she could find her pair of tennis shoes and that the other person also retrieved her pair.

Another user replied “I am intrigued why, the exchange is almost impossible in mid-flight, unless you are traveling in first or business class”, to which she responded by giving more details about the unusual situation: “Tourist class and no. I swear I don’t understand how there could be a shoe so similar to mine, the same size and the right foot that I needed to fit 😂 and the same thing happened to someone else and they didn’t even notice! It must be a joke for Showmatch and it’s all set up 😂😂”.

That could start the plot of a movie! Hahahaha,” he joked.
