ICYMI, it hasn’t been a great couple of years for air travel. Frequent flight delays and cancellations have stranded travelers around the country, while lost baggage (due to a shortage in airline staff) have left those lucky enough to make it to their destinations high and dry. It’s not just domestic flights—in October, Travel Weekly reported that mishandled baggage rates around the globe were up 75 percent from 2021, with 7.6 suitcases per every 1,000 travelers arriving late.
The answer? A pack of Apple AirTags ($165), which you’ve probably seen by now on TikTok or in another corner of the internet. They are truly a lifesaver. You can buy a pack of four AirTags (plus five keychain cases, an adhesive silicone case, and a luggage tag) on QVC for $165, but the peace of mind they offer is priceless.
Personal Experience: Recently, I had a nightmare experience with my checked luggage during a trip to Europe. My bag contained essential items like chargers, clothing, and personal belongings, and it went missing during a layover at O’Hare airport. Thanks to Apple AirTags, I was able to track it down and retrieve it in Sicily. From that day on, I made sure to always have AirTags on my bags to avoid such stressful situations.
How do they work? Simply attach an AirTag to your belongings and connect it to your iPhone using the “Find My” app. If your items go missing, you can track them in real-time and ensure they reach their destination. For smaller items like keys, you can use the built-in speaker to locate them quickly. Plus, all the location data remains private and encrypted, giving you peace of mind.
Currently, Apple AirTags are available individually with a luggage tag for $45 or in packs of four for $165. I highly recommend investing in the 4-pack for added security, especially when traveling. So, say goodbye to lost luggage and hello to stress-free journeys by adding AirTags to your travel essentials.
