"First thing I did was flip open my phone, look for my AirTag to find my luggage, and I could see that its location was saying Toronto Pearson," she said.
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.
“It’s an hour and a half flight. I was there early, ready to go. I checked my one bag of luggage for that flight, got on the airline. It was again a little delayed. I landed in Saint John, got off right away, went to the baggage pick-up and my luggage wasn’t there,” said Laing, who noted she was not the only one whose bag had not arrived.
“There was about between 30 to 50 of us who didn’t have their luggage … the Memorial Cup was happening in Saint John, which is a huge hockey tournament here in Canada and I know a lot of individuals on that flight were coming in for the game and even their luggage was lost,” she added.
Fortunately for Laing, she had thought ahead and placed an Apple AirTag in her suitcase.
“First thing I did was flip open my phone, look for my AirTag to find my luggage, and I could see that its location was saying Toronto Pearson,” she said.
Laing is an avid golfer who travels often for the sport and has taken to placing Apple AirTags in her golf bags so she can track the items.
“Golf equipment is quite expensive … Those items do tend to go missing or get lost. They’re just irregular items,” she said.
On this particular trip from Toronto to Saint John, Laing decided to pop an AirTag in her suitcase for “peace of mind.”
