It is incredible to think that airlines lost or miss handled 25 million pieces of luggage between them last year.
The good news is that was 23.8% less than the previous year…or if your math’s is not so good that is a huge 7.8 million less lost or mishandled bags.
What a relief!!!
Now if it is not bad enough losing or mishandling your luggage consider this…
…the cost to the industry was a whopping $2.5 billion dollars.
Yip and guess who pays…You and me…the traveller.
So what can you do to prevent your luggage from being delayed or lost?
Well not much really as it is out of your hands…you could though make sure that your luggage has nothing of value in it. Hopefully any lose or delay will not be too devastating.
Secondly I urge anything of value purchased on your travel’s to be sent home by either a courier service or registered post. That way it is much more likely to arrive and in the condition you expect.
Warning… don’t think it won’t happen to you, because it is not a matter of if… but rather of when!!!
A spare set of underwear is a good inclusion in hand luggage. Everything else can usually be purchased at your destination.
That’s it for today.
