It will help the airline know where the bag is, and ideally get it back to you faster. At the moment they don't have simple ways to know that information, which is crazy.

Yeah, I think the keyword there is ideally, because it's really hard to know how much of a difference it actually makes.

Agree. I have specific stories in which it did make a difference, but it's just anecdotal data. To make it a solid solution we should work in partnership with the airlines (which we are planning to do)
