Holiday travel may be less stressful for passengers flying with United Airlines.In the event of a lost bag, the airline announced that customers can now share the location of an AirTag or other "Find My" network accessory with United customer service agents. The service team will then use that information to help track down missing or mishandled luggage.According to United, customers using AirTags have been able to track the location of their bags for years, but they didn't have a way to share that information with the baggage team.RELATED STORY | Southwest Airlines unveils major changes as budget airlines lose value"Apple's new Share Item Location feature will help customers travel with even more confidence, knowing they have another way to access to their bag's precise location with AirTag or their Find My accessory of choice," said David Kinzelman, United's Chief Customer Officer.
