Summer has almost arrived, and with it, vacation season. Though traveling can offer a much needed break from work, and home, arriving at your destination only to find your belongings haven’t shown up can stress you out and ruin your trip. Thankfully, the days of having to chase down belongings are behind us, due to advances in technology. Apple AirTags can ensure your belongings are always recoverable, and allow you to enjoy your trip, even if your baggage doesn’t arrive on time.
Place an AirTag inside your laptop bag so you stop misplacing it.

🎒 Stick a tracker inside your laptop bag
Laptop bags can be easily left behind at a cafe when you’re picking up coffee for everyone at the office. When your hands are full and you’re distracted wondering how you’re going to open your car door, it’s hard to remember to grab your bag from the booth you were sitting in. That’s why it’s a good idea to place an AirTag inside one of the pockets. You will be able to locate your expensive laptop and save any confidential company or personal information in your bag.
🚲 Hide an AirTag on your bicycle
If it hasn’t happened to you, you probably know someone who has had this experience. You get home from a bike ride, go inside to grab water and something to eat and completely forget about the bike you left outside. Or maybe you went to the store, didn’t lock your bike up and when you came back it was gone. If you place an AirTag in a hidden place on the bike, you can easily locate it.
We don’t recommend tracking the bicycle down on your own. It’s best to notify the police and let them retrieve your bike so you can avoid any dangerous situations. This method also works on your car if it’s been stolen or towed, or if you can’t remember where you parked it. If you have an iPhone and it’s connected to your car via Bluetooth, your phone can locate where you last left it.
