If airlines had a clear policy that they would compensate for lost luggage in emergencies I think this would be less common. When a small handbag can be worth $1000 and it takes you 5 seconds to grab it, it's an easy choice to take it vs leaving it to burn and not knowing whether you'll be compensated.
- white-flame 10y agoIt's hard to compensate for things like your keepsakes, favorite items, and personal media & contacts in your devices. There's also the fear of being stuck somewhere without ANYTHING that makes people grab what they can, to at least have a change of clothes and their toothbrush or whatever.
- ghaff 10y agoI agree that I don't think it's so much compensation. It's more like "But it's just a little bag and it's right here with my wallet and phone and medications. If I leave it I'll be at this random airport with absolutely nothing."
