As winter continues to rage on, the Presidents Day sales are swooping in to save us from the February blues. If traveling is your main form of self-care, then you’re going to need to make sure that your gear is up to date before your next trip. And, there’s no better way to get excited about a getaway than by buying a new travel accessory. If you ask us, a new Apple AirTag could be just the thing.
To celebrate one of the biggest shopping holidays of the year, Amazon has massively marked down the top-rated travel gadget, which is a handy Bluetooth tracker that ensures that you’ll never lose your luggage again and comes recommended by Travel + Leisure editors and flight attendants alike. But act fast, this pre-holiday weekend deal isn’t going to stick around for long.
Apple AirTag
Since Apple unveiled the AirTag in 2021, the button-sized tracking device has become one of those coveted travel essentials that people refuse to leave behind. Stash one in your suitcase, your backpack, and even your camera bag and you’ll always know where it is. AirTags work by sending out their location to iCloud via Bluetooth, and any device in the Find My network can pick up the signal and keep your AirTag online and trackable.
If you become separated from your bag, you can activate the AirTag’s Lost Mode, which signals to the device that you’re looking for it and it will begin playing a sound so you can find it easier. This also acts as a way to alert the people around it that you’re looking for it, and may even help ward off would-be thieves. The tool even allows you to write a public message and provide a phone number for someone to reach you if they find it.
Take it from this Amazon reviewer, whose Apple AirTag helped her track down her lost luggage: “The airline would tell me it was out for delivery when I could see it was sitting at the airport.” They continued, “To know where it was in the absence of information from the airline was a big relief and definitely helped us reunite eventually. I wouldn’t check a bag again without one.”
When you aren’t traveling, you can use AirTags to keep track of everyday items like your keys, wallet, and your TV remote. In certain instances, it’s also helped shoppers find their lost pets and stolen cars. They’re versatile little gadgets that prove far more valuable than their $29 price tag. But right now, you can snag an Apple AirTag for even less than that.
Apple AirTag 4-Pack
In honor of Presidents Day, Amazon is offering 17 percent off singular AirTags and 20 percent off packs of four, which are originally $99. Hurry up and hop on this deal before the shopping holiday deals wind down and spring travel kicks off.
