Nice, that's useful, they get something for free... What do we get?

Half price off one beverage when you pay full fare in an MVP lounge of our choosing. Offer valid only during the month of Smarch.

A rare occasion where Apple did it first.

Will the android fanboys make this a meme of their own side or will the apple fanboys win at smirking?

Anyone who's a fanboy of a tech Corp needs to reevaluate life choices.

Are airlines still actively disallowing the use of trackers like these to track luggage? Because they were very unhappy when apple users were using air tags to do this and instituted policy against it.

I had never heard this before. I always have an Android tracker in both my checked and carry on bags.

They weren't the only airline to give pushback against the use of air tags, but they seem to be the only one being accused of attempting an outright ban.

Of course the justification was, "they're making us look bad!"

I'll continue using them.
