iOS 18.2 was released in December with a new feature in the Find My app that allows you to temporarily share the location of an AirTag-equipped item with others, including employees at participating airlines. This way, if you have put AirTags inside your bags, the airline can better help you find them in the event they are lost or delayed at the airport.
The feature also works with other item trackers that support Apple's Find My network, such as those sold by Chipolo and Pebblebee.
iPhone, iPad, and Mac users running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2 or later can generate a "Share Item Location" link in the Find My app. Anyone they share the link with can then view a web page with a location of the item on a map. The page will automatically update with the item's latest known location.
The item's location stops being shared "as soon as a user is reunited with their item," or automatically expires after seven days.
Below, we have listed airlines that support the feature as part of their customer service processes, with the latest one being Saudia.

While it was rumored that Apple planned to release new versions of the HomePod mini, Apple TV, and AirTag this year, it is no longer clear if that will still happen.
Back in January, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple planned to release new HomePod mini and Apple TV models "toward the end of the year," while he at one point expected a new AirTag to launch "around the middle of 2025." Yet,...
It's utterly insane that this is a problem. Airlines brag that 99.8% checked bags make it to their intended destination.
Supposedly the average passenger checks 1.2 bags per flight. A 737 has seating for 230, so there's about 276 checked bags on each flight.
So the average flight of a 737 involves 0.55 checked bags being lost.
AND THEY WANT TO BE PAID FOR THIS! That's the most outrageous part of the entire thing. They charge an absurd fee so that you can have the inferior experience that comes with them losing your bag.
There needs to be an enormous fiscal penalty involved for each lost bag. Charge them $10K for every time they lose a bag. Theoretically that's not even high enough a fee - it's still profitable for them to lose the bags at the current rate, but at least it's less profitable and they might actually try for an acceptable rate.
If at all possible I try to check bags, mostly to avoid the waiting times to retrieve it. In 40+ years of air travel (close to 1 M miles) my bags were "lost" twice and delivered to me within 24hrs... I only have 1 AirTag but it's only use is for - air travel ;)
