Several more airlines are now offering support for iOS 18.2’s Find My item location sharing feature. New airlines offering support include Aer Lingus, British Airways, Lufthansa, and more.
Currently, 14 airlines offer support for finding lost luggage by using the new Find My feature. The following airlines offer support:
- United Airlines
- Delta
- British Airways
- Lufthansa
- Air Canada
- Air New Zealand
- Turkish Airlines
- Aer Lingus

The share item location feature became available with the release of iOS 18.2, which was released last Wednesday.
Customers will now be able to privately and securely share the item’s location. Access to each link will be limited to a small number of people, and recipients will be required to authenticate in order to view the link through either their Apple Account or partner email address. The item’s location will stop being shared as soon as a user is reunited with their item, or at any time that the item’s owner decides. An item’s shared location will automatically expire after seven days. The whole process is end-to-end encrypted.
The new feature requires an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 18.2, iPadOS 18.2, and macOS Sequoia 15.2, respectively. Users can generate a Share Item Location link in the Find My app on their device and share it with the airline. Recipients of the link will be able to view the location of the item on an interactive map. The website automatically updates when an item has moved, along with a timestamp of the most recent update.
Other airlines are also planning to add support for the new feature, including Dutch Airlines, Qantas, Virgin Atlantic, Singapore Airlines, and KLM Royal.
