You’d think they’re stuck in a luggage area and airtags would help you hasten them getting to you? Not sure how it’d solve a logistics problem that is not yours but the airline’s.
Thinking further I think the airlines should stick their own air tags on luggage while in transit and get it back when customer picks up their luggage (could be a deposit based system). This would help them automatically track all luggage.
We could create a affiliated but a 3rd party bounty hunter business :)
Ok, I lost my luggage in Brussels, provide the "bounty hunter" my information (i.e., location), give them a legal authorization, and they go claim my baggage from where it is stuck, and help it move to where it needs to be.
Of course it will not be straightforward, but if we can make it happen with one airline, maybe others will follow.
Of course the name will not be a bounty hunter service, but something that is more marketing driven.
