Why we love the AirTag

Whether you are taking a short break with the family or travelling round the world with your trusty backpack, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed when considering all the options for keeping yourself and your personal belongings secure.

At Caxton, travel security is at the heart of what we do. We are here to make your life as easy as possible as you move across the globe with ease and enjoyment. As a result we believe it is vital that you are kept up to date on the latest travel security innovations and products on the market today.

Which is why we are pleased to recommend your new travel security companion, the Apple AirTag.

The Apple AirTag is another one of Apples user-centric devices which helps you keep track of your belongings such as your keys, backpack, wallet, passport and other travel items.

The AirTag works by first connecting it to your Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad and adding it to your radar within the ‘Find My’ App. Its built-in bluetooth enables nearby Apple devices to locate your AirTag - all the while keeping your details encrypted and secure to protect your privacy.

To start looking for your lost item, simply put the AirTag in lost mode and you will receive a notification when it is detected by another device on the network.

Then, navigate to your lost item using the map and activate the AirTag’s built-in speaker so you can find it through sound. Alternatively, you can say, “Hey Siri, find my wallet.”

What makes the Apple AirTag so good is the Precision Finding feature which acts like a compass with an arrow on your phone showing you the exact distance and direction to take to find your belongings. This is made possible through the AirTag’s built‑in Ultra Wideband technology.

Similarly, what is reassuring about the AirTag is that it encourages prevention of unwanted tracking, which means if someone puts an AirTag in your bag, you’ll receive a notification on your Apple device and it will even play a sound to let you know its there.

Another helpful feature is that your AirTag can be shared with up to five people, so that all the family can be kept in the loop of where their belongings are at the same time.

Additionally, the AirTag has a battery life of more than a year, after which the battery can be replaced. Furthermore, the Apple AirTag is waterproof up to one metre, added peace of mind for those accidental spills and splashes!

The AirTag can keep your travel items secure such as, your wallet, keys, passport, laptop, suitcase, travel bag, backpack, important travel documents, professional briefcase, personal belongings, and anything else you are wanting to keep secure as you travel and back at home!

With over 20 years experience at the centre of travel security, we are yet to see a stronger contender for a travel security companion than Apple’s AirTag.

So, whether you are taking a short-break or a long-haul flight, we recommend you have the Apple AirTag tagged as an absolute must-have for your next trip.
