Overall, airlines using AirTags to help track lost bags is a positive step for airline customer service. “This is a win for customers,” says Brett Snyder, president of airline travel assistance firm Cranky Concierge. “Before, customers were frustrated because they could see where their bags were, but it wasn’t easy to get the airline to use the same data to recover them. Now with airlines adopting usage of this, it makes it easier to get reunited with a lost bag.”
How to share an Apple AirTag or FindMy device location with your airline
The new process across airlines’ apps is relatively straightforward. Customers fill out a delayed baggage report online as usual. However, travelers will now see a field on the form for “Share Find My Item Location.” Simply generate a Share Item Location link in the FindMy app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and paste it into the field on the lost baggage form.
Customer service agents can then use the data in the interactive map to help them track mishandled bags. Importantly, the location sharing feature is disabled as soon as the user is reunited with their lost bag. Additionally, the AirTag owner can stop location tracking at any time, and the location link will automatically expire after seven days.
The Share Item Location feature is compatible with Apple iPhone iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, or macOS 15.2 or later, so be sure your devices’ software is updated with the latest operating systems before you travel—then sit back and enjoy your flight without worrying if your luggage will disappear on a trip of its own.
