And yet another airline has added AirTag integration – JetBlue. While it is better news if your luggage is never lost, we know that is not something to depend on. So, the next best thing is the airlines adding the AirTag integration to their lost baggage system and now another major US airline has done so.
JetBlue Adds AirTag Integration to Help Find Lost Bags
In the iOS 18.2, Apple has made it possible to share the item’s location with airlines – so now they can take the actual location and do something about it instead of just seeing it on your phone.
There were over 15 airlines that said they would support the new feature but only three did it from the start – Air Canada, Delta, and United. With the addition of JetBlue, the major US airlines now all have AirTag integration – oh, except Southwest. Since they now charge for bags, they can probably afford to build this integration into their network (can you tell I am still smarting a bit over that? 🙂).
Here is the news release from the JetBlue about this new addition.
To make sure you are set for this, here is what you need to do:
Make sure you have updated your iPhone to iOS 18.2
Open Find My app
Find your missing item listed and tap on it
Tap to “Share Item Location”
This will give you a webpage that you can share the link for with the airline.
For more in-depth, check this Apple support page..
The airlines each have ways to submit this information so make sure you check with your airline you are flying. Of course, remember to stop sharing the location after you have found the item.
This shows how far the Find My network and Apple AirTags have come. It was only 3 years ago that Lufthansa wanted to ban AirTags and now they and other airlines have built an interface to let AirTags become a way to find your luggage faster through them.
