Are you going on vacation? Buy an Apple AirTag before you go. This is why!

Before you go on holiday, it is smart to first buy an Apple AirTag. This way you will never lose your suitcase again and it prevents a lot of headaches. We tell you what else you actually need with the AirTag and also give you an alternative if you find the Apple tracker too expensive!

Buy an Apple AirTag when you go on vacation

Are you going on holiday soon? Or are you someone who always loses everything? Then buy an Apple AirTag. With this you will never lose your important things. With the AirTag you can quickly find your stuff again thanks to the Find My app on Apple devices.

Do you put an Apple AirTag in your suitcase when you go on vacation? Then you always see where your suitcase is and you can easily find it. Even if your luggage has not been flown during a flight, you can use the AirTag to see where your suitcase is. You won’t have it back immediately, but at least you know where it has gone. And that gives some peace of mind.

It doesn’t stop there, because you can of course also put the AirTag in your bag or hang it on your key ring when you go out for a day. Do you lose your keys on the way? Then you can quickly find them again, because you will receive a message that you have left them. Note: you must first enable this function.

Buy AirTag

So if you’re planning to go on vacation soon, it’s smart to buy an Apple AirTag now. We have already looked up the best prices for you in our AirTag price comparator. Then you at least know that you are not going to pay too much!

Also useful: AirTag case

Your Apple AirTag is shaped like a small, round disc. This makes it easy to put it in somewhere, but it becomes more difficult to hang it on your key ring, for example.

You need a well-fitting key fob case for this, so that you can’t slip the Apple AirTag out of the case during your vacation. Apple has several cases for sale, but they are quite pricey. You can get a cheaper case on several websites, often for a fraction of the price.

However, it is not always wise to go for the cheapest case, because then you quickly have the chance that you will lose the AirTag on the way. Most cheap covers just don’t fit well.

The SWOOP protective cover is the golden mean: the cover is not too expensive and your AirTag will stay in place. The SWOOP’s protective cover is available via Bol.com for 7.87 euros†

Do you still want an official case from Apple for your AirTag? Then check out the Apple AirTag Loop (Electric Orange). The AirTag Loop is not too expensive and available in nice colors. The case is for sale at Amac for 29 euros†

Don’t forget: Set up Apple AirTag

Before you go on vacation and board the plane, you must first set up the Apple AirTag. You must then connect the bluetooth tracker to your iPhone or iPad. Setting up your brand new AirTag is a snap. Below we explain it step-by-step.

AirTag Alternative: Tile Mate

Do you think the AirTag is a bit too expensive? A reasonable alternative is the Tile Mate. This tracker has a square shape with a small hole. This makes it very easy to hang it on, for example, your bunch of keys.

The Tile Mate does not use Apple’s Find My network. So you need the free Tile app to track down your stuff. Also nice: you can use the button on the Tile to make your iPhone make a sound when you lose it. The Tile Mate Mate (2022) is for sale at Bol.com, among others, for 23.89 euros†
