Traveling this summer just got a lot easier thanks to a significant price drop on Apple’s popular AirTags. These compact Bluetooth trackers help you keep a close eye on your belongings—whether it’s your suitcase, handbag, wallet, or passport—giving you peace of mind wherever you go.
AirTags have become a must-have travel accessory, and Harriet Morphy-Morris, Commerce Content Editor at The Mirror, strongly recommends them after using AirTags on trips to destinations like Italy, New York, and Botswana. The device works seamlessly through Apple’s Find My network, allowing users to track their valuables in real time.
Originally priced at £35 each, Amazon’s early Prime Day deal now slashes the price by 20%. You can purchase a single AirTag for just £28, or save more with packs of two at £56 and three at £84. Setting up the AirTag is simple for iOS users: just bring the AirTag close to your iPhone or iPad, follow the prompt to connect, name the device, and register it with your Apple ID.

The AirTag sends out a secure, anonymous signal that can be picked up by other nearby Apple devices. This network-based tracking enables you to pinpoint your luggage’s location, helping avoid the common travel headache of lost bags. With the Find My app, you can see precisely where your item is and when it was last detected—an incredibly handy feature when checking if your suitcase is on the plane.
However, AirTags are only compatible with iOS devices, excluding Android users. For Android enthusiasts, other Bluetooth trackers like Tile and Chipolo offer alternatives. The Tile tracker, priced at £34.99 on Amazon, provides location tracking through its app with detailed maps and ‘location history’, offering a more detailed view of surrounding landmarks compared to AirTags.
Chipolo’s Card Spot, which retails for £29, is a slim option designed to fit in wallets or luggage pockets but also only works with Apple’s Find My network. While Chipolo offers distinctive features, it does not support Android devices.
In summary, Apple’s discounted AirTags are an excellent choice for iPhone users looking to safeguard their belongings during travel. Android users may want to consider Tile or other alternatives to ensure their valuables stay within easy reach.
