Air travel can be stressful , especially when it involves lost luggage . However, Apple and several airlines are teaming up to simplify the process using AirTags, small Bluetooth trackers . Travelers can place AirTags in their bags , link them to their iPhones, and use the "Find My" app to track their luggage . This feature allows passengers to know their bag's exact location even if airlines can't provide updates in real-time. Now, Apple has introduced a "share item location" link within the "Find My" app. Participating airlines, like United and Delta, will accept this data to help locate delayed or mishandled luggage. This initiative aims to expand globally by 2025. While airlines are introducing their own tracking systems, AirTags remain beneficial. For example, a traveler in Europe used them to guide the airline to his misplaced luggage. Experts recommend hiding AirTags inside bags to avoid theft and keeping a photo of the luggage for reference. These tools promise to ease holiday travel woes .
