LOTS of airplane passengers at the airport and not infrequently with a lot of luggage making losing suitcases or just getting them exchanged is a fairly common occurrence. Controlling the whereabouts of the suitcase once it has entered the checked luggage area is not easy. But there are some precautions you can take to increase the chances of your luggage arriving at its destination.
Losing luggage often occurs on connecting flights. If possible, choose direct flights to reduce the risk of losing luggage. If you do have to take a connecting flight, make sure there is enough time for your baggage to move to the next plane.
Airline passengers should be aware that they are not the only people who have contact with their luggage. It is possible that human error occurred and their luggage did not reach its destination.
Attach custom markers
First, make sure the counter person properly labels the suitcase. Attach markers such as ribbons, pins, certain stickers, or unique tags so that you can immediately identify the suitcase and reduce the risk that someone else will accidentally take it because it is similar to the suitcase, reported by Travel and Leisure.
Don’t forget to remove all tags and stickers from past trips so your luggage doesn’t end up in the wrong place. Clear any dangling ropes so they don’t catch on the conveyor belt and throw the bag off the track. Don’t forget to immediately report to the airline staff if the suitcase is lost.
The best way when packing is of course always to assume there is a possibility of the suitcase getting lost on the way. As a precaution, passengers should not pack any special, valuable or meaningless items that are irreplaceable. [tempo.co/photo special]
