  • At least 30 airlines now allow for luggage tracking via iOS’ Find My feature

    At least 30 airlines now allow for luggage tracking via iOS’ Find My feature

    It’s never easy to fly, but this could help.

    Back in December, Apple released iOS 18.2 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 the Find My network, such as products sold by Chipolo and Pebblebee. As such, 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. From there, they can share a link that allows them to view the item’s location on a map and automatically updates with the item’s latest location. The item’s location stops being shared “as soon as a user is reunited with their item,” or automatically expires after seven days.

    The following is a list of aidlines that currently support the feature:

    • AJet
    • Aer Lingus
    • Air Canada
    • Air France
    • Air India
    • Air New Zealand
    • American Airlines
    • Austrian Airlines
    • Breeze Airways
    • British Airways
    • Brussels Airlines
    • Cathay Pacific
    • China Airlines
    • Delta
    • Eurowings
    • Finnair
    • Iberia
    • JetBlue
    • KLM
    • Lufthansa
    • Porter Airlines
    • Qantas
    • Saudia
    • Singapore Airlines
    • SunExpress
    • SWISS
    • Turkish Airlines
    • United
    • Virgin Atlantic
    • Vueling

    There may be others that offer support for the feature, and if you’ve heard anything, please let us know in the comments.

  • JetBlue announces Fly-Fi service availability for entire fleet

    Wi-Fi is now available on every JetBlue flight and aircraft.

    The budget airline announced the finished rollout of Fly-Fi, a free in-flight Wi-Fi service that claims to offer faster connections than some paid options like Gogo.

    The service is now available on all flights while a number of airports in the U.S. and elsewhere are offering access as well, though in rare cases it may be paid —like Newburgh, N.Y. —or non-existent, as with places like Mexico City and Montego Bay.

    applepaystickers

    Apple on Monday updated a section of its Apple Pay website, adding a new feature that allows businesses to order Apple Pay decals for merchants.

    Clicking the link to order decals takes merchants to a new Apple Pay Supplies website where they can sign up to receive an Apple Pay kit that contains window and register decals. In the kit, there are glass decals in two sizes, register decals in two sizes, and an application tool. Businesses can order up to five kits using the online tool, but larger decal orders require placing a phone call to Apple.

    Kits are available at no cost after a company, name, email address, and shipping address are entered.
