If American Airlines mishandles your checked bag, you might be reunited with it just a little bit quicker than before.<\/p>\n

That’s because the Fort Worth-based carrier has officially integrated Apple’s AirTag tracking service, allowing travelers to temporarily share their AirTag’s location with the airline when bags are misplaced.<\/p>\n

American told TPG that it activated Apple’s Share Item Location feature<\/a> over the past few days.<\/p>\n

The more you know: The best time to book flights for the cheapest airfare <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

If your bag is misplaced, you can share your AirTag location with American via a QR code that’s located in baggage service offices.<\/p>\n

American notes that this feature is only available for passengers who have at least one leg of their trip to or from a U.S. airport.<\/p>\n

The airline says that less than 1% of bags are mishandled and also claims that when things do go awry, most bags are reunited with their owner in just over a day.<\/p>\n

That said, adding support for Share Item Location functionality should help shorten the time frame you’re without your bag.<\/p>\n
