Have you ever boarded an airplane with a knot in your stomach, fearing that “lost property” Annoying? You’re not alone. Every year, millions of passengers face the worry of their suitcases getting lost. But worry no more! A flight attendant has given a simple but effective tip on social media that will reduce the chances of your luggage getting lost.

According to a video that has gone viral on social media, a user named @cici.inthesky revealed that the key lies in using AirTags. These small, coin-sized devices from Apple leverage Bluetooth technology to track the location of your luggage. Simply attach an AirTag to your luggage and use the Find My app on your phone to keep track of its whereabouts during your travels.

This simple hack provides peace of mind in several ways:

Real-time tracking: View the location of your luggage at every step, from check-in to baggage collection.

Recovering a lost bag: If your suitcase gets lost, an AirTag can reveal its location, helping you or the airline find it.

Peace of mind: Knowing where your luggage is can greatly reduce travel anxiety and help you focus on enjoying your trip.

In fact, people on a Reddit thread shared their stories about how using AirTags made their travel experience hassle-free. One user shared, “I took a two-week trip to the UK in 21, Heathrow was a mess (BA strike). Our original flight got delayed/canceled but we had already handed in our bags. So the next day when we finally boarded the new plane, I was able to track the bags and make sure they were on the plane they were supposed to be on. This helped me a lot there. While in the UK, we were traveling by train. There was a suitcase in the main luggage rack. Someone accidentally picked up the wrong bag, and I got an alert so quickly that we were able to get it back without any problems.”

Another user also shared his experience of seeing the live location of his luggage and getting it back. “I was flying from Florida to Atlanta and then I took a connecting flight to Cape Town, South Africa. When I arrived in Cape Town I noticed that one of my bags was still in Atlanta. I could see where it was. They delivered it to me in 48 hours because I knew its location,” he wrote.
