Lost luggage woes over? WestJet embraces AirTags!
WestJet is now letting passengers track their lost luggage with Apple AirTags. This is a huge win for frustrated travelers everywhere. The airline officially announced the change today, addressing a long-standing customer pain point. Many passengers have previously resorted to using their own tracking devices.
This move comes as airlines struggle with baggage handling issues. Over 24 million bags were mishandled by airlines globally in 2022, according to a recent report. WestJet hopes this new system will significantly reduce those numbers and improve customer satisfaction.
Seriously, why didn't they do this sooner?!
The airline states that passengers can now place AirTags inside their checked bags. They can then monitor their luggage's location through Apple's "Find My" network. WestJet emphasizes that this is a personal tracking solution, and they won't access the data.
This update offers a much-needed layer of security and peace of mind. Expect other airlines to follow suit as passenger expectations for baggage tracking continue to rise.
