Taking to Twitter, Cian issued an appeal on the off-chance that someone on the return flight might spot the item.
He said: "Hey Twitter. Lost my wallet on @AerLingus flight EI104 inbound from JFK. The wallet is now heading back east towards the USA!
"On the off chance anyone is onboard, it’s near seat 3A front of the plane left hand side. Appreciate a retweet. Thanks!!"
The message quickly gained traction from social media users, as Cian continued to share updates of the wallet's journey.
He was eventually reunited with his cards and cash on Sunday morning in Dublin Airport which was a huge relief for everyone following the saga.
Cian tweeted: "Final update. The wallet is home. Thanks so much to everyone. Had such a laugh last night following the thread! Irish twitter can be so funny!"
Meanwhile, social media users shared hilarious tweets about the wallet's incredible journey.
One person said: "I'm down with plague and I'm sick of TV and Netflix. I had a great nights entertainment with #WalletGate. "Calling Mr. Cians Wallet, @AerLingus EI104 to Dublin, please go to gate 78 immediately"... Amazon will probably commission the movie!"
Another person said: "Apple owes you shares!! The amount of people now ordering air tags because of your tweets!! They better send you something nice. You're like an ambassador now for Apple and Aer Lingus."
