If you have an AirTag stashed in your luggage, JetBlue will now be able to use your tracking data to find your bags if they go missing.
The airline announced Monday they are integrating the iOS 18 Share Item Location feature that will allow customers to track their luggage. Customers will be able to use the Find My feature on their iPhones to securely share with JetBlue the location of the AirTag stashed in their luggage should it go missing. The integration was confirmed alongside the launch of a new JetBlue app that provides real-time updates on the status of their checked bags.
“This new in-app bag tracking feature, along with AirTag location sharing for baggage recovery, are designed to bring customers peace of mind when checking their bags with JetBlue,” said Carol Clements, JetBlue’s chief digital and technology officer.
