A few months ago, I was waiting for my luggage to be delivered at the airport in Athens when the “Last bag” notice came up on the board with no sign of my own bag. Thankfully, I had a Pebblebee Clip tracker in my luggage, and I knew it had landed with me, but it was still sitting right next to the plane and hadn’t moved since. I could see it thanks to Google’s Find Hub network, which was using nearby Android devices to update the tracker’s location even though it was far away from me.
After talking to airport staff, I managed to explain what happened, showed them my bag on the map, and got my luggage — plus several other travelers’ bags, which were in the same situation — delivered to us in less than 30 minutes.
