It’s time to start preparing for holiday travel — which also means bracing for any unexpected mishaps. And if flying is as chaotic as it was this past summer, you’re going to want to use all the travel hacks you can in order to avoid more headaches. 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: "We took a flight last month and with all the news of luggage getting lost I thought I would try this. It let me know every step of where my luggage was. We had three transfers with the airlines, and the alarm was plenty loud enough to hear when it came through baggage claim. Extremely easy to link to phone." — David R. Nye
Promising review: "Used the tag for our checked suitcase on our trip to Europe this summer as I didn't want to take any chances with the suitcase debacle that took place this summer. So many people lost their luggage for weeks!! I purchased this just in case my one checked suitcase went missing I could pin point where it was. As soon as we landed in Ireland I checked the app and my suitcase pinged in the airport. It made it. On the way home.. Same. It worked great!! Now my husband uses it for his keys until the next trip!" — Rua
