AirTags help man watch luggage go on whirlwind European tour without him

Share! :D

Carl Cooper was eagerly anticipating an adventure when he boarded a flight from Kelowna, B.C., to London, England, where his multi-country vacation was set to begin.

He just wasn’t expecting that his summer romp through Europe would include following his luggage through an online app as it embarked on an entirely different trip that included a pitstop in Iceland’s capital, a stranger’s house in smalltown England and, eventually, a police visit before being delivered back into his hands.

“It was another great idea by my wife to get AirTags and it certainly added to the trip, added to the adventure,” he said. “My bag had a great time.”

Like countless others, Cooper was snared in what some have described as an air travel meltdown. It’s been characterized by, among other things, heaps of luggage piled in what have been described as suitcase graveyards, never to be seen again.
