Vacations can be stressful. The hustle to get to the airport with everything you need, losing your rental car in a sea of painfully-similar cars at the beach lot, the constant fear of losing something (or worse: a little one!). It can be overwhelming at times, and you end up losing a lot of vacation time and adding stress to a supposedly stress-free time. Thankfully Apple’s AirTags (here’s a 4-pack of AirTags at Amazon) are here to make your vacations a whole lot easier by helping you keep track of your vacation essentials.
Here are the Top 5 Ways that AirTags will save your next vacation:
1- Never lose your bags again.
Whether it’s your luggage or your backpack, nothing ruins a vacation like lost bags! That’s where AirTags jump in to make sure you never have to go through that again. Attach an AirTag to your luggage or backpack prior to your next trip and you’re good to go. (Worried about AirTag’s range?

- Belkin Secure Holder With Strap for AirTags
- The Belkin Secure Holder with Strap is easily attachable through its loop to any zipper or strap on your bag. Its innovative twist and lock design will make sure your AirTag is securely snapped in and won’t fly off if you choose to have it dangle on the outside of your backpack. Belkin’s Secure Holder with Strap also features an open design with raised edges that will keep your AirTag secure and generally scratch-free, though the face could still get nicked in a direct-strike. This is a great product for keeping track of your bags on vacation because you can easily swap it from your luggage onto your backpack or your beach bag once you check in to your hotel. The Belkin AirTags Holder comes in four different colors to match your style: Black, Blue, Pink and White.

- Mulinsen Protective Case for AirTags
- The Mulinsen Protective Case for AirTags is designed to attach itself directly onto your bags’ existing straps, making it more appropriate for backpacks, purses and beach bags than luggage. Made from eco-friendly silicone, this case is easily attachable to straps about 1 inch wide, so make sure your straps aren’t too big. The silicone mold holds your AirTag snugly, and its flexibility makes it easy to replace or move your AirTag at any time. The Mulinsen AirTag Case is also washable and (relatively) scratch-proof, although like any product where the AirTags face is showing, there is still a chance it could get scratched if it gets hit directly. If you’re into colorful cases, Muslisen offers its Protective Cases in 13 different colors ranging from Black, Navy Blue, White and Red if you’re into neutrals, to Yellow, Teal, Orange and Light Pink if you like bolder colors.

2- Always keep track of your Rented Cars, bikes, kayaks etc.
Why does it seem to be so hard for everyone to remember their rental car? I can’t begin to tell you how much time I’ve spent on vacation walking around looking for it. They’re. All. Red. Cars. Having an AirTag in or on your rental car, bike, surf board, or kayak will help you stop wasting your vacation time so you can properly enjoy it.
- Moment Curved Surface Mount for AirTags
- The Moment Curved Surface Mount for AirTags is a great option because it sticks onto pretty much anything and is waterproof once properly secure. It’s simple design covers the entirety of the AirTag with flexible molded rubber so that it’s securely concealed. The Mount also has a foam lining on the inside to tightly hold your AirTag and prevent it from rattling and getting scratched. The Curved Surface Feature with rugged adhesive allows you to stick it onto pretty much any part of your car, bike, kayak or surfboard. Keep in mind that AirTags connect via bluetooth and they might not work if there are too many barriers between it and your phone like if you place it in your glovebox. The Moment Curved Surface Mounts adhesive paired with its flexibility allows you to put it in your wheel well, so you can easily find your car in the parking structure (or if you’re an international spy-type, you can use this same trick to stalk / spy on someone – sorry James, secret’s out). The Moment AirTag mount is also watertight once mounted, so you don’t ever have to worry about water damaging your AirTags during activities, and it comes with extra adhesive pads so you can easily remove it and place it elsewhere without losing adherence. It’s sold one-to-an-order and is only available in matte Black.

3- Save the keys
It’s bad enough to lose your own car or house keys, but in my opinion it’s even worse when you’re on vacation and you’re losing someone else’s. Once again, AirTags to the rescue, this time with the best AirTag keychain accessories on the market.
- Apple’s AirTag Leather Key Ring
- The AirTag Leather Key Ring is Apple’s official keychain accessory made with a stainless steel ring and a European soft leather pouch that holds your AirTag snugly, so you never have to worry about it flying off. Its clean and simple design shows off the AirTag’s beautiful face and any engravings, while still somewhat protecting it with its leather edge. It has a bit of a higher price than most key ring alternatives online, but seeing as it is an official Apple product, you know you can count on its having the quality needed to get the job done. This stylish leather keyring comes in 3 colors: Baltic Blue, Saddle Brown, and Red, and is sold individually.

- Pinzoveno Leather Case for Apple AirTag Tracker
- The Pinzoveno Leather Case for Apple AirTag Tracker is a cheaper alternative to the Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring. Made with faux leather, the design of this product is very similar to its Apple alternative: snug AirTag fitting, some scratch resistance given by the case’s edges, open design displaying the Apple logo and any engravings, and a stainless steel key ring. The only big difference is the quality of the leather, which you make up for in price as this product comes in packs of 4 for half the price of one Apple AirTag Leather Key Ring. Pinzoveno offers its Leather Case in Brown, Black, Red and Blue and is sold in a 4-pack.

4- Keep your friends close, keep your children even closer
There’s no bigger nightmare than losing sight of your little one on vacation. Luckily there are kid-friendly AirTag accessories to help make sure you can always keep find and track of your kids (and hopefully relax on a vacation for once!).
- Peston Silicone Bands Compatible for AirTags
- Peston’s Silicone Bands for AirTags are skin-friendly silicone armbands made to attach an AirTag. It’s a discrete item as it looks very similar to a watch but instead of the clock, you have your AirTag on your kid’s wrist! This accessory is sweat-proof, scratch-resistant and washable, and is made to accommodate different wrist sizes, fitting anything from toddlers to the elderly. Its open design makes it easy to place and remove your AirTag, but it also means the AirTag is visible and prone to scratches if it gets hit directly. Peston’s Bands come in packs of 5 and are available in Black, Light Blue, Teal, Yellow and Dark Green.

- Counlisha Silicone Case with Mickey Mouse for AirTags
- Counlishas Silicone Mickey Mouse Case is an alternative to the Peston Silicone Bands, as this one is meant to attach to your kid’s backpack or belt-loop instead of their wrist. Also made of eco and skin friendly silicone, this keychain comes with a stainless-steel ring and an aluminium hook to better adapt it to your needs. The Mickey Mouse design is made to please the kids while also helping absorb any impact and covering the corners of your AirTag to keep it snug and relatively scratch-free. The kid-firendly AirTags case comes in 3 different colours, Black, Blue and White and the latter even glows in the dark to help you spot your AirTag at night (or more realistically, to keep your toddler entertained). A great deal – you can buy them individually or in packs of 3.

5- Always know where your Camera is
I don’t know about you, but my Camera is perpetually on my list of top 5 vacation essentials. The problem is, I’m always worried I’m going to lose it so I don’t carry my camera with me all the time and end up not photographing important moments I want to remember. Thankfully AirTags are here to make sure your camera & camera case don’t’ get lost, and you´re always equipped to capture your favourite vacation memories.
- Moment Curved Surface Mount
- The Moment Curved Surface Mount is a great product if, like me, you like to carry your camera around without a bag. Made of flexible molded rubber, with rugged adhesive and interior padding to hold your AirTag safe, you can easily and discreetly use it to stick an AirTag to your DSLR or mirrorless camera. Keep in mind that this is an adhesive accessory and in this case would probably have to be stuck to the bottom of your camera. This shouldn’t be an issue unless you’re planning on using a Tripod or a Gimbal during your trip and you don’t have the surface area to do both at once.

- Svacoco SIlicone Case for AirTag
- The Svacoco Silicone Case for AirTags is a simple product you can attach though its hook-ring to almost any part of your camera or lens bag. Silicone might be the best material if you’re planning on placing your AirTag in with your camera as it won’t scratch or damage your precious lenses or camera body. The Svacoco Case is a round pouch where you insert your AirTag. Once the hook-ring is in place, you can rest assured that your AirTag is secure and won’t come flying off. Its small size makes it easily concealable in one of the many pockets in your camera bag, and its hook-ring makes it easy to attach to almost anything.
