Apple now lets you share your AirTag location with major airlines — here's how it works
One of the biggest fears when traveling is the possibility of losing your luggage. However, Apple has expanded upon an AirTag feature introduced with iOS 18.2 that could be a big help. AirTags have a lot of different functions, but one of the most popular is to help users track their luggage, including the Share Item Location feature to pass on the location of their AirTag to someone else. While this was useful for getting friends to help track something down, it was of little help when an airline lost your luggage. However, Apple has expanded this feature thanks to a team-up with some of the biggest airlines in the world to offer AirTag-based luggage recovery with their customer support. The partnership allows the airline to use your AirTag location URL as part of its customer service process. As such, it should mean that the airline will be able to quickly track your luggage in real-time, without relying on the more archaic system many currently utilize. Once your bag is recovered, the link will expire, meaning the airline can no longer track the luggage. At the time of writing, this feature is available with American Airlines, Delta, United and JetBlue, plus British Airways and others beyond the U.S. If you want to know how to use the AirTag location sharing feature, be it because you need it now or for future reference, here are the steps to follow. The first thing you need to do is open the Find My app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac and head to the Items tab. Once there, find the lost items or AirTag and scroll down until you find the 'share item location' option. Follow the prompts given, which will supply you with a URL that you can share with the Airline. Usually, the airline will include its method for how to share the link when you go through customer service. Overall, this addition looks like it will help to mitigate some of the bigger concerns that come with traveling, and a partnership with the airlines is certainly a massive bonus. Considering Amazon's Prime Day starts on June 8, now is a great time to grab the AirTags, such as in this current 4-for-3 offer at Amazon. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.

Family lives on cruise with free laundry and childcare — it's a splashy life with one major downside
Staying afloat while raising a toddler is hard enough on dry land — this mama's doing it on the high seas. 'We basically live on a on board ships while my fiancé is at work,' said Chelsea, a Scottish mom of a nearly two-year-old tot named Mattia, in a trending tell-all about her atypical life on the waves. She's in the ever-expanding number of folks who've forgone the grass and ground for the motion of the ocean. 4 Chelsea, a Scottish bride-to-be and mom of one, detailed living life aboard a cruise while raising a toddler. TikTok/ It's a lifestyle that's picked up steam over the past few years. Nonconformists of all ages are jumping ship from tradition — quitting their jobs and selling their homes — and becoming perpetual boat passengers. But Chelsea, a bride-to-be engaged to Domenico, a professional seaman, explained that her little family only participates in the alternative lifestyle part-time. They actually own a home in Italy. However, when Domenico is on duty, she and Mattia join him aboard, spending eight-week stretches on luxury liners, sailing around the world from shore to shore. 4 Cruise ship living has become increasingly popular in the recent past. Getty Images And sure, globetrotting via glammed-out tubs might sound like a dream — owing to the all-inclusive grub, splashy amenities —like free laundry — and childcare centers. But Chelsea says rearing a little one in a cramped cabin can often be a nightmare. 'I was asked what it's like managing space in a crew ship cabin with a toddler,' she ranted in a separate vid before giving over 129,000 TikTok viewers the grand tour of her tight accommodations. She detailed her unending struggle to keep their close quarters clean while making sure Mattia has enough room to play, sleep and explore. 'The first giant burden is this travel cot,' she said of her kiddo's portable crib. 'Even though Mattia sometimes comes in our bed, some nights…the reason we have this [travel cot] is because at least we can have some part of the night where we're not all crammed in the bed.' 4 Chelsea explained that life on the go can be fun, but keeping her family's cabin clean can be a hassle. TikTok/ Chelsea then gave online audiences a glimpse at their itty-bitty bathroom — outfitted with a small shower, sink, toilet and wall cabinet — where she's barely able to store her son's inflatable tub and the family's toiletries. A resourceful mother, Chelsea tried designating a corner for Mattia's books and toys (rather than stuffing them under the bed to free up some extra space). But the baby rarely limits his play to the tiny nook. The insufficient elbow room notwithstanding, Chelsea revealed that her trio enjoys complimentary laundering services while on the water. However, closet and storage space is sparse and difficult to keep organized. She houses her and Domenico's bikinis and swim trunks, undies and socks in small drawers. 4 The resourceful mama manages to keep her child's toys, diapers and must-haves organized in their tiny room. TikTok/ Mattia's clothes, diapers and wipes have a special place in a cabinet-turned-wardrobe. The seafaring fam also has a shelf dedicated to snacks and miscellaneous goodies, as well as a bite-sized refrigerator for cold drinks and bites. 'So, that's how we manage our space as small as it is,' Chelsea said in conclusion, admitting that they're 'barely' in the room outside of bedtime — otherwise they're hitting the pools, kiddie playgrounds, restaurants or sunning decks. 'I feel like a pro now. I feel like I know what I'm doing,' she bragged. 'And that is La Cabina.' 'Stunning.'
