This is why I insist on only taking hand luggage and never letting it be tagged on the flight for checked in luggage - which airlines sometimes do because they claim there's not enough space in the overhead cabins. I've always ripped the tags off and always found there to be enough space (while being one of the last to board).
- kennethrc 3y agoFWIW,I've had at least a thousand flights over the last 15 years with at least a bag (and many times two) checked and have had one delayed until the next flight about 5 times, but none ever lost.
- nicpottier 3y agoWhere are you flying? I've never lost a bag outright but I've had bags delayed by days or weeks on maybe 5% of flights. I tend to go to places off the beaten path though. If at all possible I use carry on only.
