Can anyone confirm that this system still doesn't tell you the bag was loaded onto the aircraft? As far as I can tell there are 2 events:
  1. Bag checked in at XYZ (here's your receipt number)
  2. Bag on carousel X
Click to expand...
I noticed the timestamp for 1 is after check-in when already in the lounge, so it may in fact be the loading of the bag onto the aircraft...
 
Am a tad concerned by what I'm seeing....

Travelling DRW - MEL - BNE, so checked in luggage at self-service Darwin kiosk. Sticker label and baggage receipt shows BNE which makes sense. Got to MEL just now and the app says luggage at carousel unfortunately I didn't see this until I got to the hotel.......Any ideas? Otherwise will just have to get there earlier tomorrow to sort out I guess.

Edit: Got up this morning and status changed to "bag checked in MEL".....phew! Thanks 😅

I flew LST-MEL-BNE, got the "Checked in at LST" notification shortly after check in and then about 20 minutes after being in the MEL lounge I got the "Checked in at MEL" notification. Didn't check the app after that as I was checking my Air Tag status instead.

Is anyone else getting random tracking notifications?

On Friday I got a couple of notifications about my luggage being on its way to DRW and today I got one about check-in to Hobart.

I was not on those flights or any other.

Weird.
