Aer Lingus introduced a new luggage recovery system using Apple’s AirTag technology. This solution allows passengers to share their lost or delayed luggage’s location quickly. Travelers can use the Find My app on their Apple devices to create a location-sharing link. They can submit this link during the baggage claim process. This helps Aer Lingus track the luggage more efficiently.
The system relies on Apple’s Find My network, a vast network of over a billion devices. These devices use Bluetooth technology to detect nearby lost items and send location information. The process remains encrypted and anonymous. No one, including Apple, can access the location data. Passengers can stop location sharing at any time or when the bag is returned.
Aer Lingus ensures that this technology improves the baggage recovery process. Although most checked baggage arrives on time, this feature helps recover delayed bags faster. This integration demonstrates Aer Lingus’ commitment to providing seamless travel experiences.
Passengers need to update their Apple devices to iOS, iPadOS, or macOS to use the service. This small update enhances the luggage recovery process during rare baggage issues.
Aer Lingus now offers a faster, more secure way to retrieve lost luggage, thanks to Apple’s Find My network. This powerful integration ensures smoother travel for passengers.
