Frequent air traveller Kelly Laing was flying from Toronto to Saint John, N.B., late last month on a flight she takes often between the two cities, but this time her checked luggage went missing. Fortunately, she had thought ahead and placed an Apple AirTag in her suitcase.
Laing made a series of videos and posted them on TikTok as she described the nearly one-week journey of her checked baggage originating in Toronto. For five days, Laing said she tracked her luggage on her iPhone, thanks to the AirTag.
“No notifications from Air Canada, no emails updating us on our luggage. The only thing I had was that tracker and if I didn’t have it, I would probably be worrying a lot more,” she said.

I put my apple watch in my bag from Costa Rica. It was nice to see it was on the plane with me.

You know that once this becomes popular Nav Can will say it interferes with radio communications and will ban them.
Smart girl
My cat has one. But it's radio
Clever girl .
I do the same, it’s great when you get to the arrivals carousel. The iPhone points right in the direction of the bag.
Lost luggage with Air Canada? Shocker.
In other news, sleepy joe gave off like 5 million barrels of oil… while the american gas prices are skyrocketing…
Think this doesnt affect canada? Transport of good require gas. Which means the prices of those goods go up too.
put airtags in your bags
Flying in August with Air Canada. Packing super light, just carry on. Cant take that chance, they already moved my flying dates around. Its sketchy to fly now.
I’ll buy Apple stocks
What's up with these Islamic muslim ads playing right before the video?? Anyone else seeing these?
Pack light! Carry-on luggage only. Bigger items can be Fedex'd ahead of time. Fedex is more reliable than airline baggage. Forget air-tags. That is just free advertising for Apple. Air tag does not prevent luggage from being lost. It only gives you more stress as it tells you where your lost item is. Just like security cameras do not prevent burglars. It just shows you how burglars steals from you.
Wow, cool gadget. I’ll be getting one soon. I’m glad she got her luggage 🧳 back.
Who Cares this is such Old News if your stupid enough to travel and have no idea this is happening then tough luck. Use the Air Tag so Thieves can get there first lol.
DONT ACCEPT THE DIGITAL I.D IT IS A CHINESE SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE = SLAVERY

I don't see how the apple tag can help find your luggage. All it can tell you is what airport it's in but other than that what can it do. The airport found the bag on their own.
I think I saw my bag.
Hindus working at AC were tracking it too. Except they failed this time.
Stencil your name and frequent flyer number on the outside of your luggage so when it ends up in the giant lost luggage pile waiting to be shipped to Alabama for resale you can demand to see the pile and rescue it!
Shouldn't have to rely on this.. this is an insult
Having the tracker would actually make you worry more 😎
need one for my cat
Canada has become a disgrace on every front. I regret serving in the military. This country and its 'leaders' are clueless about everything.
I have these air tags everywhere
Trudeau:
We as responsible and Democratic country are stepping forward and doing the right thing by relying on science. We have gathered all luggage regardless of its ethnicity, colour, or gender in one location at the airport so every suitcase and bag will be in the inclusive collection of luggage. We are still looking for black bags because black bags matter.
Airtags communicate with iPhones. If you don't have an Apple, don't bother. If you have a Samsung, get a Galaxy SmartTag. If you don't have one of these two… good luck~!

Great to put in your car too 😀
I just did the same thing with me and my buddy’s camping gear in Vancouver checked into Air Canada going to London. I could tell before takeoff our bags were not on board and we can see day 3 they are still sitting in Vancouver. And now we have no place to sleep camping so we have to buy all new gear.
I wonder if all the CEOs of air Canada didn't get a single paycheck until all the lost luggage was found or paid for.. wonder how long this problem would be fixed ?? 5 maybe 6 hours ??
This amazing. Lost luggage will be a thing of the past.
But how does it work? I never get a location when its more that 5m away. Do you have to put it in “lost mode” in order to send location?
I learned today that working for an Airport actually makes you money, if you steal other people's luggages.
Wouldn’t the airtag notify the robbers, that they are being tracked by an airtag?
Make these air tags $20 not $40 but this is Canada, everything has to cost so much more.
YOU WANNA FIX PEARSON?!?! YOU STOP HIRING PEOPLE FROM THE HOOD!!! STR8 UP
Good news for Apple
CMON WE ALL KNOW THIS WOW
never heard of this gadget until today
