These 36 Airlines Offer iPhone Feature That Helps Find Your Lost Bags

On iOS 18.2 and later, there is a Share Item Location feature in the Find My app that allows you to temporarily share the location of an AirTag-equipped item with others, including employees at participating airlines. This way, if you put an AirTag inside your bags, the airline can better help you find them in the event they are lost or delayed at the airport.

AirTag on Baggage
The feature also works with other item trackers that support Apple's Find My network, such as those sold by Chipolo and Pebblebee.

iPhone, iPad, and Mac users running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 or later can generate a "Share Item Location" link in the Find My app. Anyone they share the link with can then view a web page with a location of the item on a map. The page will automatically update with the item's latest known location.

iOS 18 2 Share Item Location
The item's location stops being shared "as soon as a user is reunited with their item," or automatically expires after seven days.

Apple today announced that the Share Item Location feature is now supported by 36 airlines around the world, and we expect more to follow in the future.

Below, we have listed all of the airlines that support the feature:

  • AJet
  • Aer Lingus

Elevation Lab Pulls AirTag Silencer After Stalking Concerns

Tuesday October 13, 2026 2:14 pm PDT by
Earlier this year, Elevation Lab announced the launch of a "Silencer" for AirTag meant to pierce the speaker on the device to disable the sound. Elevation Lab explained that it created the Silencer to keep thieves from detecting an AirTag on valuable products like bikes, but the company didn't think easy speaker removal would be problematic. The AirTag plays a sound when it is away from...

Apple Puts AirTag-Sized AI Pin on Hold

Apple has paused development on a camera-equipped AI wearable, reports Bloomberg. The device was described as a pin or pendant that could be attached to clothing or worn around the neck. A camera would relay information about the wearer's surroundings to Siri, like the rumored AirPods with cameras that could come as soon as 2027. The AI pin would have Visual Intelligence features, with Siri...

RIP, MacBook Ultra

Apple today sent out invites for an experience in Los Angeles on Wednesday, October 28, and the "Pro and tell" tagline on the invitation likely means that the rumored MacBook models with touch-enabled OLED displays will stick with MacBook Pro branding instead of the once-rumored "MacBook Ultra" name. The long-rumored "iPhone Ultra" ended up being named iPhone Duo, so speculation that Apple...

That's cool, rule of thumb for me:
avoid checking bags alltogether
If above not possible, make sure you can "survive" for 2-3 days without your checked luggage
Yeah, I'm exactly the opposite. To me, the hassle of dragging my crap all over the airport and through the tiny aisles of a jet and then cramming it into an overhead bin is just not worth it for anything more than a long weekend. I'm so much happier leaving my suitcase (with toiletries of normal size that would not make it through security) at the front of the airport, then strolling through with a backpack containing a few things I want on the plane. And then when I get onto the plane itself, I am so happy to just totally recuse myself from the search for overhead bin space. Put my backpack under the seat in front of me, pop on headphones and order a drink.

I've been checking my bags for many years now and can count one single time (SFO) that my luggage wasn't there when I went to get it. The airline delivered it to me the next day.

I also think airplane cabins would on the whole be much more pleasant if the airlines stopped making luggage a "profit center" and just let people check a suitcase for free.

I have an AirTag in one of my luggage I check in. Still haven't lost a bag in 25 years of domestic and international travel. A lot of airliners give frequent updates on where your luggage is as well, so I don't even need to use the AirTag.
Until one actually gets lost and there's hell to pay...

I never lost one permanently, but certainly have had several over the years get delayed long enough to be delivered later by some cab - luckily all of those were on returning flights.

Also, not long ago, I was waiting for a bag at a carousel, and while the sign indicated that that carousel was still the one for my flight, some barely audible announcement said ~"Kasdfjk sd sdfkj asdfkasjdhflsjdf sdfljk asdjf" - directing all of us on that flight to a side area where our bags really were being delivered. I totally missed the garbled announcement. It was a 20-30 minute delay of immense uncertainty. The airline knew exactly where the bag was (in the baggage claim area), but that was not sufficient to actually locate the bag. It seems like the AirTag solves that issue - and several more.

This is such an awesome feature that Apple has added

Apple should instead implement their own ‘find my’ beacons (at most US airports) so as to limit their reliance on random strangers (who happened to also have iPhones) to transmit the Geo location back to the person (who has misplaced/lost their phone)

If Apple could start off at the busiest airports first (JFK / LAX) as a pilot test trial, and if that is successful expanded to other airports, that would be the way to go about doing this

I hadn’t either until KLM lost one of our bags recently. We watched it (via the AirTag) wander around Schiphol for several days, then get shipped to the wrong city. KLM didn’t appear to have any idea where it was most of that time per their automated system. We had KLM ship it back to us after it was clear we wouldn’t get it before we left. It arrived back home shortly before us 12 days later. We were only able to find the smashed remains of the bag set aside in the corner of the luggage office thanks to the AirTag.
If nothing else, I like the peace of mind of sometimes knowing if the bag made it on the plane as some airlines aren’t too good at updating bag location.
