If the recent news about the catastrophic tech outage that grounded flights all over the world has you anxious about upcoming air travel, you’re going to want to use all the travel hacks you can in order to avoid the consequences of a similar disaster. This includes an easy way to keep track of your luggage.
If you’ve ever arrived at baggage claim only to find your suitcase is nowhere in sight, you’re familiar with the gut-wrenching panic that sets in. But even though this circumstance can be extremely stressful, using a portable tracker is one of the best ways to alleviate some of the terror. This type of device can attach or clip on to almost anything, including keys, dog collars and, of course, luggage.
One of the most popular gadgets you can use to track your belongings is Apple’s AirTag, but there are others to choose from, too. Check out the other trackers fliers are using below.

Promising review: "Bought a four pack of these prior to my trip from US to Spain. One on my wallet, one inside my backpack, one INSIDE my luggage. Airline lost luggage in the UK. AirTag notified me it was missing and left in London, then tracked it as it was sent from there to Madrid, on to Santiago, and then to my hotel in Sarria. I knew where it was at all times, even before the airline. Made this common travel nightmare less worrisome. All my travel companions were amazed." — Kent P Steinnagel
Promising review: "I decided to get this to use on my keys since I’m always misplacing them. When I go away, I take it off and put it in my suitcase so I don’t have to worry about my luggage being lost. It’s super easy to use and will also tell you if you “left your item behind”. If I leave my keys in the car and go into my house it’ll notify me that I’ve left them." – megan
Promising review: "If you a person, like me you lose everything quickly. So I was skeptical cause all I keep hearing is, they not as good as Apple airtag. I can't stand Apple products so I was going in though thinking these won't be as good.
Well glad to report they work better than I thought. On a recent trip was able to track my luggage all the way through. Even had one in my wallet which was great cause I would leave the room forgetting it and just check my phone, there it is. Now I'm looking to get more to track things like my bike, and other devices that are on the move alot or can easily stolen if left in open areas.
Tracking is simple, so is the setup and mapping great as well.
Its only been a few months but for what it does, its great thus far." – Jus_Desireable
