Moreover, he also opened the device to see the location of the AirTag he put in the trunk. “With this information I told the airline not to collect the bags in Ireland as they were left in Canada,” Harper said.
After a while he was able to tell that the luggage he left behind had been delivered to Ireland. According to him, AirTag is very useful in providing accurate information about the location and movement of his stuff. According to him, this feature is very important for passengers because airlines are not always willing to provide certain information to passengers in a transparent way.
