Ingram tweeted at United Airlines on Thursday after the airline apparently misplaced his checked luggage.

In the end, the real United was able to help resolve Ingram’s issue.
"Ok I give credit where credit is due @united!! I called y’all out and you answered the challenge above and beyond," he said in a tweet. "I appreciate the hospitality and execution in delivering my bag to me quickly. And by the way I’m flying the friendly skies with @united tomorrow!"
