For her peace of mind on this particular trip, a traveler decided to bring an Apple AirTag, which eventually allowed her to track her luggage that underwent a five-day delay.
A Traveler From Toronto Tracked her Luggage via AirTag
Kelly Laing, a frequent traveler, was on a trip from Toronto to Saint John, New Brunswick, late last month, but this time she checked bags vanished.
It took an hour and a half to fly. Laing arrived early and was prepared to depart, so she checked her lone piece of luggage for that trip and boarded the flight. Her baggage wasn't there when she went to pick it up after the aircraft touched down in Saint John, according to Laing, who also noted that she wasn't the only one whose luggage had not yet arrived.
The Memorial Cup is a big hockey tournament in Canada, and many passengers on that plane were going to Saint John for it. However, 30 to 50 of them were missing their suitcases, Laing added.
Laing was fortunate that she had included an Apple AirTag in her luggage since she had planned.
Kelly Laing is a devoted golfer who often travels for the game. She has resorted to tagging her golf bags with Apple AirTags to keep track of the equipment.
She chose to pack an AirTag for "peace of mind" for this specific flight from Toronto to Saint John. Fortunately, the AirTag allowed her to follow her baggage using the FindMyDevice app on her iPhone within the five-day luggage delay.
Laing then took a car to the airport, where she checked in, showed the staff her ID, and got her bags.
According to Kris Abel, a tech specialist, it sends out a wireless signal, or "small beacon," as Apple puts it, to alert other nearby iPhones or smartphones to its presence.
An Apple AirTag would cost around $40. Because of its high value, consumers can be confident that their possessions are secure.
It doesn't need charging since its battery may last for nearly a year. The owner will be informed when the battery is running low and has to be changed.

An Actor Recounted Her Horrible AirTag Tracking Tale Experience in Disneyland
A new story claims that one of Apple's coin-sized AirTag item trackers was used to follow an actor throughout Disneyland centers on the company's item trackers.
In a series of tweets, performer and author Hannah Rose May described her experience while attending an event in Disneyland in late June. According to the tweets, May's iPhone informed her that an unidentified AirTag was traveling with her. This is a crucial security function since it guarantees that users are notified when an unidentified AirTag travels with them.
An apple AirTag was put on me to track my location Saturday night. I’m sharing what happened to me so you know what to look for as I had never heard of this prior to Saturday night.

The Find My warning came near the end of the night, according to May, who was at Disneyland from 23:45 until 2:00 the following day. After pressing the notice, May was informed that the item's owner may see her current location and that she has the option to turn off the AirTag.
May also shared her experience on Instagram, where she received feedback from others who had had the same experience.
Apple is well aware of the privacy and security concerns associated with AirTags, and there have been several cases of AirTags being used to monitor individuals and even vehicles. The company detailed Find My changes earlier this year to assist customers' security.
