Ever use an AirTag to locate lost luggage? Soon airlines will be able to see your bag's AirTag location, too.
Apple is rolling out a new feature designed to make it easier for passengers — and airlines — to retrieve misplaced bags.The new function, called Share Item Location, is available as part of the public beta of iOS 18.2, and is coming soon to iPhone X and newer models as a free software update. The link will let passengers share their AirTag locations with more than 15 airlines, including Delta and United, to help both parties track down mishandled or delayed bags more efficiently.
Airline passengers, though, have used them to take bag tracking into their own hands, amid increasing frustration over the rate at which airlines misplace luggage.In 2023, United Airlines had one of the highest mishandling rates, according to a U.S. Department of Transportation report. Out of 75 million bags, 551,000, 0.73%, were mishandled. Delta had one of the best. Out of 99 million bags, 467,000, or 0.47%, were mishandled, according to the report.
