If you have an Apple icloud account you can log in on any device and locate your Airtag.

You don't need an Apple device to use an Airtag.

I have both Tiles and AirTags. I have them on keys, my car, golf cart and other items that I don’t want to lose. Some people put them on pets. My neighbor borrowed my cart a few weeks ago. I purposely did not ask his destination. About an hour later, ai checked and found that exact spot his family parked at the Polo Grounds. I waited a couple hours and the tag pinged enough that I could open the garage door for him when he was close. . I still use my Tiles but have less faith in them due to fewer people having the Tile App open v. People using iOS devices.

Amazon has several inexpensive holders for them.

You can buy holders that look like luggage tags for them or just drop them to the bottom of your bag.

Update. I’m the OP.

Bought a pack of four Airtags and holders on Amazon. One for my wife’s luggage. Ok, she flew from MCO to Seattle last night. I put one airtag in her luggage to check the operation.

Well her flight was delayed over an hour due to malfunctioning toilet on the 737. I checked the airtag location on her trip. She took Groome and I tracked it to MCO.

After the flight I saw it at SeaTac airport in a specific gate area. No doubt at a holding area because she missed her connection and they put her up at a hotel for the next flight later this morning.

So the Tracker works! I can locate where her luggage is, safety measure if taken…

The other three are in golf cart and each of our golf bags.

Bottom line, great so far

We use AirTags and we are all Apple. It is excellent. I see there is a Tracker Detect app on Google play that allows you to use AirTags from your Android.

That is not an easy question. If there are other Apple products "near by" it can find your tag anywhere in the world. It uses Apple's "Find My" network which is unique.

People are putting them in their checked baggage so they can know where their bag is if the airline "loses" it.
