Yup, got that.

Unfortunately, the app wasn't showing my bad and giving me a message something like "some airports don't have tracking". Granted, I was in a small airport, but PHL should have been able to track it. The guy at the counter was able to figure out where it was and what flight it would come on.
My question was really, if I continue to try and get on that earlier flight out of F, am I going to be randomly waiting at XXX for my bag because the "system" (whether it be baggage handlers or something automated) maybe just looked at XXX and threw it on that flight? Or was this an anomaly?
