Apple AirTags or something similar

#1 Post by reddo » Fri Feb 18, 2022 9:59 am

For those of us who regular travel on airlines and who check their luggage, these little devices are a stress buster.
My bag didn't make it on the flight from JFK to LHR but instead of wondering where it was, I knew and I could tell the baggage services agent.
I watched it taxiing out at JFK and the next day, arrive into LHR. Just great.
When it was with the courier, I knew approx when it would be delivered and so I didn't have to wait in all day.
Sure, I was getting some SMS alerts etc but nothing like seeing where you bag is for assurance.

I use the AirTag because I have an iPhone. Tile and others work for Android etc. :)

Never heard of these things before but this is an interesting clip about them.

There was a bit of noise from Lufthansa about banning them. Nothing heard since.
