Jack Morath in LHR shares this information - At the last Pionairs LHR Zoom meeting the tracker devices used to trace your baggage was mentioned. Our son bought us a pack of four from Amazon and titled Apple Air Tags. We have not used them on a flight yet but our son and his family have used theirs and also our grandson used one this past week from the Canary Islands to Gatwick. Here's a brief description; it sends out signals via Bluetooth that are detected by nearby Apple devices. The devices send the location of the Air Tag to iCloud which you can access on your phone through the Find My app. Your labelled Air Tag will show up on a map that shows you exactly how far away it is. A number of people have advised how useful the gadget is. An item explained about a couple who travelled from New York to Copenhagen and on arrival in Copenhagen their baggage did not arrive on the baggage belt. When they reported the loss at the desk, the person phoned somewhere and advised that the bag was not there. The passenger then showed him their Apple Air Tag and it showed up in the terminal and later the bag turned up in the Baggage Hall. Thought you might be interested to hear these comments, Jack |
