many years ago, while traveling from Santiago de Chile to London, a baggage was lost by BA. They refused to acknowledge the damage and returned it more than 6 (yes, six!) months later after infinite calls and email from me. According to the news, London Heatrow was flooded on the day of my arrival and they decided to ship thousands of luggages to the US in special cargo flights. Had I had an airtag available, I would have known immediately what had happened to my stuff.

Shavers, alarm clocks (yes, sometime I bring it with me), rechargers for phones, you name it, and all of them contains battery, and are regularly carried in cargo. A part from the disproportionately larger battery, which is that make baggage trackers unique? That they expose the incompetence of airlines?

As an Italian, unfortunately I have to agree. I think Alitalia lost their latest opportunity rejecting an offer from Air France. I am no expert, but I think the management of this company was terrible, linked to corrupted politician and with a lack of strategy: competing with RyanAir et al. on European market is impossible. They should have known that when they cancelled most of the long haul flights. Just to mention one of the big mistakes.

FAA: "Regulations permit musical instruments to be stored in our overhead bins as a personal item." Me: "I am an organist, find an Antonov 225".

sorry, I was wrong. Actually I do not know why the GDPR still apply to UK. Probably your country maintained it, no idea.

yes, your country voted to reject EU, including his legislation and the GDPR.
