In your tent when you go hiking

If you're setting up camp in a place you've never been, it can be useful to put an airtag on the inside of your tent so you can easily find your campsite. For example, if you decide to hike several miles in a day, you can use Find My to see AirTag's final location (your tent) and get directions back to the campsite. can do. Remember, it needs to be within range of someone else's device, so don't count on it in the wild. (This is why Apple advises you not to use AirTag on pets.)

In your jacket pocket

How many times have you left your coat at a restaurant, bar or friend's house? It's easy to forget to grab your jacket when you go out, especially if the weather is hotter than you expected or you have your hands full of leftovers and the go-to cup.

If you know you'll be hanging your jacket on a coat rack -- or the back of a chair -- when you arrive, place an airtag inside the pocket so you know where you left it. This can help prevent losing another favorite jacket, and leave less money out of your wallet to replace it.

Inside your luggage

Navigating airports can be tricky, and especially difficult when you're trying to pick up the right luggage. Sometimes you wait 30 minutes until your bags are finally rolled onto the conveyor belt—and sometimes they get lost. To take the stress out of trying to locate your suitcase, you can put an AirTag tracker inside so you can track its whereabouts.

This can help you find out if your bags were left on the plane, if they are on the conveyor belt but you haven't seen them yet, or if someone accidentally grabbed your luggage. Once you know where your bags are, you can address the situation and continue where you're headed.

Inside your laptop bag

The laptop bag can be easily left in the cafe when you are taking coffee for everyone in the office. When your hands are full and you're distracted thinking about how you're going to open your car door, it's hard to remember grabbing your bag from the booth you sat in.


That's why it's a good idea to keep an AirTag inside one of the pockets. Not only will you be able to locate your expensive laptop, but you will also be able to save any confidential company or personal information you may have in your bag.

In a hidden place on your bicycle

If this hasn't happened to you, you probably know someone who has had this experience. You reach home by bike ride, go inside for water and some food and completely forget your bike which you left outside. Or maybe you went to the store, didn't lock your bike and when you came back it was gone.

If you put the AirTag in a hidden place on the bike, you can easily find it. However, we do not recommend tracking a bicycle on its own. To avoid any dangerous situation it is best to inform the police and let them take your bike back.

This method also works on your car if it's been stolen or taken away -- or if you can't remember where you parked it. However if you have an iPhone and it's connected to your car via Bluetooth, your phone can detect where you left it last.
