American Airlines has announced the integration of Apple's AirTag tracking service, becoming the final major U.S. airline to adopt this technology. This new feature allows passengers to share their AirTag's location with the airline when checked bags are misplaced.
According to American Airlines, the Share Item Location feature was activated in recent days. Passengers can share their AirTag location with the airline via a QR code available in baggage service offices, provided they have at least one leg of their trip involving a U.S. airport.
The airline claims that less than 1% of bags are mishandled and most are returned to their owners within just over a day. The addition of this feature is expected to reduce the time it takes for passengers to be reunited with their lost luggage.
