So much less stress when I can track my luggage every step of the way. Basically as long as an iPhone or iPad goes nearby it will track it. 12 hours ago, BirdTravels said: The problem with Air Tags is that they basically says that your bag is on the ship/at the port. Air Tags work by pinging off iPhones near by,,,, once people go into airplane mode, there will be limited pings,,, if your bag is lost. It won't say "Your bag is at Cabin 826". Do you have soft or hard sided luggage? Does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them in my hard side and soft side luggage, as well as my back pack. They work well in all my applications. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloAlaska Posted August 31, 2023 #31 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The one situation they don’t work in is if your have them inside an RFID protected travel bag. I just tested it with my RFID pouch I use to protect my cards and passport etc and it’s blocks the signal of the AirTag as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have "hard side" case which is just composite plastic. Air Tags, in general, work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
