After Apple launched a feature last year that allows users to share their AirTag location with an airline to help locate lost luggage, Canadian carrier WestJet is getting in on the action.
To use this feature, locate your AirTag in the Find My app. Then, tap on the area that says ‘Share Item Location’ and send that link to WestJet in your delayed baggage report. Once your item is returned to you, the sharing link will stop working. Users can also deactivate the sharing at any time.
This is a feature built by Apple, and with the addition of WestJet, it is now supported by all three major airlines in Canada. Air Canada had the feature around launch last December. Then, Porter added the feature in March, and now, WestJet is rounding out the pack.
To be clear, this is mostly marketed as an AirTag feature, but it will work with any item tracker in the Apple Find My network, like devices from Chipolo. That said, if you had a pair of AirPods in your list bag, you can’t share that location in the same way.
