I travel internationally on about 3 R/T flights a year to Europe and Asia (mostly Delta and United alliances). I fly in the US about 12 flights a year (Delta and Southwest). I always check a bag. My bag was delayed by a day one time in 2018 when Thai Airways hustled me to a connection through BKK, but my luggage wasn’t so lucky. That’s the only time I’ve had a problem. (knock wood) Of course, my evidence is anecdotal. But so is that of folks who are outraged (outraged!) by their lost luggage. I reserve my outrage for the people who prolong the boarding process finding bin space for their duffel bag, roller bag, and backpack.
