Just to be clear … you can “locate” AirTags using FindMy on your MBA (or from any other of your iOS / iPadOS / MacOS “Trusted Devices”).


But you do indeed need an iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch topair” the tag(s) to your AppleID.


The technical requirements are spelled-out here:

Return it. Amazon has rather liberal return policies. No need to complain, they'll just take it back, but you do have to do so in the prescribed return window.


On the Apple site, which Amazon has a link to, AirTags are listed as an iPhone accessory.
