How simple luggage trackers became the hottest travel accessory

The bag mishandling rate was up 74.7% in 2022 compared to the previous year, according to data from SITA, which offers various IT solutions (including baggage tracking) for the aviation industry. Out of every 1,000 bags to take to the skies, 7.6 were lost last year, compared to 4.35 per 1,000 in 2021 and 5.6 per 1,000 in 2019. But if you put a tracking device inside it, as more and more people are finding, you can tell the airline where it is.
