Baggage tracking made simple with Find Hub.

Baggage tracking matters most when the luggage belt stops, and your suitcase hasn’t arrived. We’ve all stood there as the crowd thins out, wondering if our suitcase is just around the corner or delayed. Usually, the next step is a long wait at a service desk to report a lost bag.

Instead of just filling out a form and hoping, a luggage tracker tag on the Find Hub network helps you share your bag’s location directly with partner airlines. It’s a simple way to speed up the search and possibly get your things back without the back-and-forth.

If you have a luggage tracker tag in your suitcase, Find Hub turns a long wait into a team effort. It uses a secure network of millions of Android™ devices to pinpoint exactly where your bag is.

The “Share device” feature creates a secure, temporary link that shows your bag’s most recent location. Here’s how it works the moment you realize your luggage hasn't arrived:

• Open the Find Hub app on your Android device and generate a secure link for your luggage tracker tag.
• Provide this link to the airline through their lost luggage claim process.
• Airline staff can then view the bag’s location on any device to quickly find it. The link is accessible across platforms, including Android, desktop and iOS.

You no longer have to wait for staff to provide updates on lost baggage. By sharing an airline bag tracker link, you're giving staff the exact details they need to find your luggage and return it to you faster.

When you’re dealing with missing luggage, you need a process that’s uncomplicated and clear. Here’s what to do.

Your bag didn’t arrive at the carousel.

You’ve waited at the carousel and confirmed your luggage is missing. The first step is to stay calm. Head to the airline’s baggage service office at the airport or visit their website to begin the official claim process. You’ll need your bag’s tracking tag and personal information.

How to generate your secure tracking link.

While you’re filing your claim, you can generate the tracking link to share with the airline staff. Simply follow these steps:

1. Open the Find Hub app on your Android device.
2. Select the luggage tracker tag that’s inside your missing suitcase from the device/item list.
3. Tap “Share device”.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions, confirm you want to create the link, and then copy the generated URL to your clipboard.

Important: Android-powered phones running OS 6 or later can use the Find Hub app. The Find Hub network requires Android-powered phones running OS 9 or later.

Working directly with airline staff.

The final step is to paste your unique URL directly into the airline’s digital lost luggage claim form. If you’re speaking with an agent in person, you can send it to them as instructed. This link gives the airline the exact location they need to find your bag, rather than them relying only on their internal recovery systems.

Sharing a location link helps bridge the gap between your tracker and the airline's systems.

Many airlines are setting up ways to accept these secure links. Once you’ve used Find Hub to generate a link, you can share it with the airline to help them find your bag in real time. By providing this specific location data, you’re helping the ground crew cut through the guesswork and get your belongings back to you faster.

The following airlines are currently participating in this program:

• Ajet
• Air India
• Austrian Airlines
• Brussels Airlines
• China Airlines
• Lufthansa
• Lufthansa City
• Saudia
• Scandinavian Airlines
• Swiss International Air Lines
• Turkish Airlines

This list is constantly growing, and we’re working to bring on more airline partners over time to improve the baggage-tracking ecosystem for everyone.

Sharing your bags’ location should feel secure and straightforward. That’s why Find Hub doesn’t track your bags in the background or send updates unless you specifically ask it to. Here’s how it works:

• It starts with you: A bag tracker link doesn’t exist until you manually tap to create one. It’s an intentional choice, every time.
• Time-limited access: These links aren't forever. They automatically expire after seven days, or the moment your luggage is back in your hands.
• You can revoke at any time: If you change your mind, you can stop sharing instantly in the Find Hub app, giving you complete control.

Baggage tracking turns a stressful wait into a clear plan. By using the global network of millions of Android-powered devices, Find Hub helps you locate a suitcase that the airline's own system might have missed.

Technology often works best when it stays out of the way until you actually need it. Instead of feeling helpless at the carousel, you have the specific information you need to help the airline get your bags back. Pack your tracker, set up your link and get back to the part of the trip that actually matters.
