AirTags are a travel essential. Stick one in each piece of your luggage to keep an eye on your belongings as they make their way through the airport and onboard your plane. If one bag doesn’t make it to your final destination, you’ll be able to locate it before the airline does via your iPhone. This four-pack is perfect for families — stick one in each person’s luggage and travel with the ultimate peace of mind on your spring break trip.
