Lost luggage

It’s not always the baggage handlers’ fault. Sometimes your bags are lost because of

  • Technology problems: Sometimes those conveyor belts taking your luggage from the terminal to the plane jam.
  • Flight problems I: Sometimes a flight is too full to hold everybody’s bags and yours get put on a later plane.
  • Flight problems II: Missed connections. When the time between your flights is brief, your bags might not make it on to the second plan–even if you do. Leaving yourself more time between flights.
  • Human error: And it’s not just the handlers, who may be at fault. A fellow passenger might mistake your bag for his and carry it off before you even get to the carousel.
