Google has just announced that Find Hub users can now share a link with participating airlines. This link allows airlines to view the location of your tracked luggage, which should go a long way towards improving the luggage recovery process.
“It’s up to you when to share and when to stop sharing your luggage’s location,” the company added in a blog post. In other words, you should be able to easily disable shared tracking once you’ve found your luggage.
This news comes almost a year after Google first announced this integration with airlines. Participating airlines at the time of the original announcement include Aer Lingus, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Iberia, and Singapore Airlines. Our fingers are crossed that other airlines join the program sooner rather than later.
