Using Apple Air card with an Android phone?
 
I have no Apple device and only have an Android phone; can I use an Aoole Air tag to track my checked airline luggage?

No, but as of about 6 months ago Android has a similar feature so you can buy a compatible tag. Samsung has had a similar feature for years but its network is smaller.

I found this announcement on the Eufy website claiming the SmartTrack will work with Google's "Find My Device" app for Android. I posted in a late October thread about the discount pricing for Eufy Trackers. The trackers are still available @ 2 for $19.88 on Amazon, but the price is now higher on the Eufy site. When I bought mine they were the same price at Eufy.com as Amazon and also included the 2032 batteries that Amazon states as required, not included. Eufy.com does not currently have the 2fer discount pricing.

Here is a link to the article dated 11-11-24 about these trackers working on Android:

I am leaving today for a 30+ day trip, so I was not able to link my trackers to one of my Android phones, but they did pair easily with my iPhone. I will try and get them linked to an Android phone on my trip. I am wondering if the Android app is not yet able to pair the SmartTrack?

Thanks for the update. The announcement from Eufy is a bit vague. This wording makes me wonder whether the existing SmartTrack Link device you truly does work right now using an Android (my phone is a Pixel 9 Pro).

"In late 2024, eufy is set to unveil two new tracker products: SmartTrack Link for Android and SmartTrack Card for Android. These two products will offer seamless integration with the Android Find My Device app, enabling global location tracking via Android smartphones."

I went into the Google Play store and the "Eufy Security" app was just recently updated (November 4), but I can't determine if this really is functional with that "Link" device on Amazon. From your posting, I think you have the same concern. I have a trip planned this weekend and unfortunately Amazon does not fulfill the Eufy device order, so it wouldn't show up in time.
