Man uses AirTags and PowerPoint presentation to ask airline for his lost bags [U]

Since Apple introduced AirTag last year, multiple interesting stories related to the item tracker have been shared on the web. A man lost his luggage on a trip to his wedding used AirTags with a PowerPoint presentation in order to request his bag.

Elliot Sharod and his wife, Helen, were flying back to the U.K. from their wedding in South Africa on April 17. The couple purchased tickets that included stopovers at Abu Dhabi and Frankfurt. However, they were forced to change their flight schedule due to the pandemic. Their luggage was not returned to the U.K. after they made it.

Luckily, Sharod placed an AirTag inside each bag so that he could track them on the map. The Find My app enabled the couple to track their bags on a map and discovered that the luggage they had taken to Frankfurt was not with them to London.

AerLingus was the airline that operated the flight and stated that Sharod would receive the bags at his home. Only two bags of the three were delivered to Sharod’s home that night.

After multiple calls and emails to Aer Lingus without a solution, Sharod then complained on Twitter, but even that didn’t seem enough. That’s when Sharod took a different approach: he posted videos and even made a PowerPoint presentation with screenshots from the Find My app showing exactly where his lost bag was.

He told CNN that the bag was located in two different places in Pimlico, and it has never moved since April 21. However, the airline was unable to find it, so Sharod contacted the police as he now believes the bag was stolen.

While this saga doesn’t seem to be nearing an end, it’s always interesting to see how useful AirTag can actually be in situations like this. Hopefully, Sharod will be able to get his lost bag back.

Update: With the help of the police and thanks to the AirTag’s location, Sharod was able to get his bag back.
