United, Delta, and Air Canada Will Begin Supporting Find My for Lost Luggage This Week

Starting this week, support will be rolled out for U.S. and Canadian airlines United, Delta and Air Canada iOS 18.2 adds item location sharing function Help track lost or delayed luggage, Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak said.

This feature allows you to temporarily share your AirTag’s location with others, including employees of certain airlines. This way, if you put an AirTag in your luggage, the airline can better help you find it if it’s lost or delayed.

apple Other previously announced airlines British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, KLM, Lufthansa, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand, Austrian Airlines, Aer Lingus, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings will support the feature “in the coming months” Airlines, Iberia, SWISS, Turkish Airlines, and Vueling. More airlines “coming soon.”

iPhone, iPad and Mac users running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2 can generate a Share Project Location link in the Find My app. Anyone with whom they share a link can view a site and display the item’s location on a map. The website will automatically update with the latest known location of the item.

Apple said it worked directly with airlines to put systems in place to accept “shared item location” links “privately and securely.” Access to each link is “limited to a limited number of people,” and recipients need to “authenticate” with their Apple account or partner email address to view the link. The item’s location will stop being shared “once the user is reunited with their item,” or at any time the item owner decides. The project’s shared location will automatically expire after 7 days.

iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS 15.2 were released last week after beta testing.
