The device could stop you from boarding your flight.
When travelling abroad, the long list of banned items on flights can be extremely confusing for many holidaymakers.
Many holidaymakers have been left waiting hours for their bags, as staff struggle to keep up with demand. So, a lot of people have attached tracking devices to their luggage, including Apple AirTags.However, devices like this could mean your bag doesn't even make it onto the plane. Earlier this week, airline Lufthansa warned that it was "banning activated AirTags from luggage as they are classified as dangerous and need to be turned off.
Under current guidelines, tracking devices that contain lithium batteries, like the AirTags, should be taken on in the carry-on baggage rather than being put in the hold. Various other airlines such as TUI, easyJet and Ryanair have differing rules about smart luggage - and flyers should check these rules before setting off.
The tracking devices should also be turned off fully rather than placed in "sleep or hibernation mode". This rule means AirTags and other trackers are effectively banned from being checked-in on all commercial flights in the UK as they won't work without being turned on.
