If you are frequent traveler, you may already be on to Apple AirTags. If you don’t already know this, keep reading.

These handy little devices are great for tracking items you might lose or misplace. Many people already use them for things like car keys; but did you know that you can place one in your suitcase so that if gets misplaced at an airport you can locate it? Yes, this is allowed by TSA. Love that!

In addition to being allowed to place an Apple AirTag inside your checked or carry-on suitcase, several airlines are now partnering with Apple in order to help locate your bag even faster. Before this partnership, a tired traveler would call the airline and explain their bag didn’t show up at their destination. They would explain there was an AirTag inside the bag and they could see it sitting on the tarmac at the last airport they left from. Oftentimes the airline would brush them off, and it would take days for the bag to be located and returned to its rightful owner. Now, with this Apple AirTag partnership, travelers can share the link to the AirTag with the airline and the bag can be found in record time, which means it gets returned to its owner right away. Love this!

Now that this partnership exists, I am placing Apple AirTags in both my checked baggage and also my carry-on bags. With carry-on bags, you never know when you might have to check them at the gate, so being prepared with a lock and an AirTag is a wise decision.

Not all airlines have partnered with Apple for locating AirTags. Check with your airline to see if they are partnering with Apple. Also, use an AirTag even your airline is not partnering with Apple, this will still help you find your bag, even if it takes a little longer than partner airlines.

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your travels!
