Does anyone here put tracking devices like AirTags and Tile in their luggage? If so, has it been beneficial?

And according to this guy on Twitter, CR2032 batteries (which power AirTags) aren't banned from flights, just in case you have any other devices that run on this button cell.

Edit: It's a CR2032 battery.

I put one on all my luggage. I’ve had bags lost before and had a close call where they lost my child’s car seat, but turns out it was just misplaced.

Now whenever I land I just check my phone and can confirm myself where they are and help airport staff find them if they “lost” them.

2032*. A LOT of car key fobs use the same battery.

Yes. Just came back from a trip to Italy. I was able to track my bag through the airport on connecting flights.

I wish I had. I had luggage that got lost for multiple weeks while I was on vacation. Turns out my luggage only made it to the first destination on my three flight trip.

I do. It lets me know my luggage is in my general vicinity. I can usually see them while I’m sitting in the plane and they are in the cargo bay. Also if they are waiting at baggage claim or not.
