  • AirTags actually saved my luggage! In this travel vlog, I'll share with you my experience traveling from Perth to Baku for the 2023 Azerbaijan F1 GP. Join me in the air for a tour of the luxurious Emirates first class, onboard the Airbus A380! However, my journey wasn't all smooth sailing, I encountered a problem when I realised that my luggage wasn't on board my second flight. Thankfully, I had my Apple AirTag inside my luggage, which allowed me to track my luggage's location and notify the Fly Dubai staff who managed to find it for me. Don't miss out on this exciting travel vlog that offers a glimpse into the world of F1 travel logistics and how to deal with lost luggage!

    As a poor person, if I got the chance to fly Emirates first class, I'd stay awake for the whole 11hr flight

      As a poor person that got to go on a business trip that consisted of 4 Emirates flights (3 were business and had made enough points from those 3 to justify the price to upgrade to first for the last one) can confirm I did not sleep on 3 of them.

    Air tags saved my aunts luggage. She went on a business trip to 6 countries back to back, and of course, in the last round back home, her luggage went MIA. She activated her app, and could see they were at her last stop, so she called the airline who told her they would look for it, but they couldn't seem to find it so she literally told them where it was with her app. LOL! Next thing she knew it was moving again, and she followed it all the way until it got to her doorstep. After that, everyone in the family got air tags. Worth it.

    My air-tags are anxiety inducing! They only work if the handler has "find my" on their phone. The best First bed is JAL - but not private like Emirates 777, they lead in that aspect (JAL service and food is good, but they are behind the times with "open" suites)

      It depends on the airport if they have sensors to detect lithium batteries. I know China has them. The person in front of me at the checkin line had set of the sensors when his luggage went thru a small tunnel. They brought his luggage back to remove the lithium battery pack. Also it may depend on the size of the battery I think.
