Inside Away Series 3: A Hidden Home for Your Bluetooth Tracker

You watch the suitcase disappear down the check-in belt, trusting it'll turn up on the other end. Most of the time, it does. But that stretch of the trip — the part where your bag is completely out of your hands — is the one part of travel you can't actually see.

You're probably already tossing a tracker into your bag before a flight — Series 3 just gives it a proper home. The built-in bluetooth tracker pocket is a dedicated spot inside the case, built specifically to hold it, so that stretch of the trip doesn't have to be a guessing game.

Explore the full lineup of Away’s new Series 3 luggage. And for the complete rundown of everything new on the suitcase, from the wheels to the trolley, "What's New in Away Series 3" covers it all.

Why Series 3 Built In a Dedicated Pocket

The pocket is nested inside the interior hanging zip pocket, sized to hold a small bluetooth tracker like an AirTag. Instead of dropping a tracker loose into a side pocket, wedging it into a shoe, or sticking it to the outside of the case, it has one fixed spot.

That sounds like a small thing until the tracker isn't where you thought it was. A tracker only helps if you know that it’s in your bag — and if you can find it again when it's time to swap the battery or hand the bag off to someone else.

Hidden Beats Exterior

An exterior tag is exposed. It's easy to see, easy to remove, and it's one more thing bolted to the outside of a case that's already handled by baggage crews, security screeners, and a rotating cast of strangers on a carousel.

With Series 3, your tracker has a dedicated spot inside the suitcase. The built-in Bluetooth tracker pocket keeps it tucked inside a zippered interior pocket, rather than leaving it loose among your belongings.

It’s a simple way to keep your tracker tucked away and easy to find when you need it. And because the tracker itself isn't built into the bag, you have the flexibility to swap in a new one as tracking technology evolves. 

Setting Up Your Tracker Before You Fly

A tracker only helps if it's actually working when you need it, so it's worth a minute before you leave the house:

• Confirm the battery has enough charge for the full trip, not just the flight there.

• Make sure it's paired and showing up in whatever app you use to track it — check this before you're standing in a security line, not after.

• If you're traveling with someone else, consider sharing tracking access with them, so more than one person can check on the bag if it's delayed.

None of that replaces standard airline baggage tracking — it's a backup, not a guarantee — but it's one more way to know where things stand before you're waiting at the carousel.

One Piece of a Bigger Interior Update

The tracker pocket is one of two separate interior updates on Series 3. The other reworks how the case opens for packing — our guide to the new outward-opening interior covers that side of the update, including a full packing strategy for the new layout.
