I think they're 100% worth the investment, but there is little action you can take other than preparation.This kind of leads to my question. Has anyone had an experience of knowing before takeoff that your bags weren’t in the plane, and were you able to take some type of action before the plane left?
On our return home from Indonesia (Manado) we connected Singapore--JFK--BOS. We had 3 AirTag equipped gear bags. At JFK we transferred our gear bags from Singapore Airlines to JetBlue. Using the app we saw 2 of the 3 move from one terminal to the other and get loaded on our flight. When we landed, the 3rd was still at the Singapore Airlines desk. Not a big deal; they arrived the next day. Had the incident occurred on the other way, I would have been able to contact our resort and arrange for rental gear and/or figure out how to arrange a courier to bring the bags from airport to the hotel. Again, not the end of the world.
+1 on this. I'm often shocked that my destination has beautiful sites ABOVE the water too.That's why I always build in a couple or three days on the front end of a LOB trip. Gives me a chance to spend some time relaxing and sampling the local fare when things go right or, when they don't, a buffer to try like heck to get my bag before the boat leaves.
