Do companies have a true incentive to do the work?
Or can they provide limited token compensation minus the sale of the lost luggage, and come out ahead vs doing a good job at not losing luggage and returning it when found?
If government/contracts limits compensation liability, then cut costs as much as possible and bring in some revenue selling luggage?
- Sohcahtoa82 3y ago> Do companies have a true incentive to do the work? The article states "When they can’t find your bag, they are liable to compensate you for your loss (up to $3,500 for domestic flights and $1,780 for international)."

- shkkmo 3y agoIt's pretty important to note that those aren't per bag payouts but per bag liability limits, after you provide documentation for the value of the contents of the bag. Thus allowing a company to buy "lost" bags directly decreases the incentive the airlines have to find the owner of the bag.
