Rare mj_holiday Posted September 8, 2022 Author #30 Share Posted September 8, 2022 terry&mike Thank you so much for you explanation of how AirTags work and your experience. Because they are so small I decided to put each AirTag and an index card, with name of the suitcase, in a Crown Royal Bag to go in the suitcase. I used initials and large (or small bag) for name and different icons on my Iphone. We have practiced with each one with actual usage next week. Then I will update the process for our next trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitekat Posted September 9, 2022 #31 Share Posted September 9, 2022 We change suitcases depending on the type of holiday and store the tags in a cupboard in between vacations. As they all look the same - large button size and white - I have used some nail varnish to uniquely mark each one so I can tell them apart quickly.

roberts2005 Posted September 9, 2022 #32 Share Posted September 9, 2022 If you order direct from Apple, they will include free engraving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had known about the engraving when I bought them. So I will have to try the nail polish MacGyver. One other tip: I saw an article that when it comes time to change the battery you should avoid Duracell – they coat their button batteries with a bitter substance to protect children from swallowing them, but that same coating interferes with the electrical contacts so the Airtag doesn't recognize the new battery. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/07/28/airtag-replacement-batteries-no-bitter-coating/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitekat Posted September 9, 2022 #34 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Although we are an Apple household (MacBooks, iPhones etc) the tags were so much cheaper on Amazon that we bought them there. Great info about the batteries. Thank you Jazzbbeau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2travel90266 Posted September 10, 2022 #35 Share Posted September 10, 2022 AirTag requires an Apple ID and iOS or iPadOS 14.5 or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie travel bird Posted September 13, 2022 #36 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Great information everyone, just purchased the Apple Airtags after a US friend, tracked and retrieved her lost luggage from Bologna after some 70 odd days by being able to give specific details of where they were located to the airline staff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piaa Posted September 14, 2022 #38 Share Posted September 14, 2022 We purchased 4 tags and were very happy with them when cruising a few weeks ago and currently, while at home, we have one hidden in each car 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mj_holiday Posted September 18, 2022 Author #39 Share Posted September 18, 2022 We just had our first trip (not cruise ) with apple air tags , and while there were many times when there was no contact with them, we had enough movement to know they were moving toward our plane and not setting in some corner overlooked. I am glad we have them, there is a lot of piece of mind knowing your bags made it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Flaherty Posted September 20, 2022 #40 Share Posted September 20, 2022 We used four Apple AirTags on recent flights from New York to Bristol via Dublin. Very glad we did as one bag stayed in Dublin on the way home. Really helped from a peace of mind perspective and also helped when dealing with the airline agent. Once our bag was in Bristol the agent couldn’t locate it in the store. Sending a noise to the tag also helped them find it! Will definitely be using again for our cruise in January. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
