i have left several iPads on planes. Got a couple back
and a couple lost forever. My personal experience has been, if you do not get it within the first 24 hours, the chances of ever seeing it again degrade rapidly.

While I understand it is not possible in all cases, my protocol is to go to the airport immediately when I realise it is gone, and do not take “we cannot get it” for an answer.

I do not know about your situation, but my experience is it is the rarest of occasions when anyone does more than the most minimal effort to reunite a device with its owner.
