Does Tile work without a subscription?

Basic tracking works free. Premium ($3/month) adds Smart Alerts when you leave items behind, item sharing with others, and extended warranty coverage.

Can I track my Tile luggage in real-time during a flight?

No — Tile uses Bluetooth, not GPS. You'll see the last known location when another Tile network device passes near your luggage. Real-time tracking requires a cellular GPS tracker.
