Four months and 19 walks with a 42-dollar baseplate compass, measuring needle settling at 2.4 seconds and about 3 degrees of real user error — roughly 52 m of drift per kilometre.

An AirTag isn't a GPS tracker and won't prevent lost luggage, but during the one real misrouted-bag test of our two months, it turned a stressful wait into a confirmed, low-stress one.

A 14-second fold into a block that stands up on its own is genuinely class-leading — but it weighs 12.6 kg, rides harsher than a $600 hybrid, and eats tyres at twice the rate.

After a year and a half of real travel, the Away Carry-On's wheels, zippers, and compression system have held up — but the battery compartment and the price tag come with real caveats.
