What would help is if each airport had a number you could call to ask if your bags are there at their baggage office. It’s literally all it takes. People can then call the airports they arrived or left from to confirm. It’s all it takes
After AIR CANADA lost our luggage we got a surprising phone call from a Michael who works for an American airline & works in another terminal at LAX. He had noticed our luggage had been sitting on the floor next to a conveyor belt for more than 4 weeks while looking for one of their customer's bags. So he went over & looked at the tags on the 4 pieces of the luggage & called us. He asked, "Would you possibly be missing your luggage?" My wife who answered the call said, "Yes!" We flew out of LA 4 weeks ago. Michael took it upon himself to meander over the AIR CANADA counter after the phone call & tell AIR CANADA, "Y'all know you got 4 or your client's bags sitting next to the conveyor belt and they have sitting there for a few weeks now." They were promptly put on the next AIR CANADA flight to Toronto & we received them 6 weeks after our flight in 3 separate deliveries. So we now know what happened to our luggage, the employee who checked us in loaded our bags unto a dolly, took them over to the conveyor belt, unloaded the dolly unto the floor next to the conveyor belt, but failed in the last few inches to actually put them unto the conveyor which would have whisked our bags out to airside to be loaded unto the plane that brought us home with out our luggage. Thank you Michael in LAX.
Air tags are useful when you lose your luggage. There was a lady who also lost her luggage when my family lost ours on the same flight, she said "I already now know where mine is im gonna let this family deal with it since they have kids" the worker said "how do you know where it is?" The lady said "I have air tags in my luggage." From what I know, air tags in your luggage can help the airline find your luggage faster.
@jozefsnopek352 another reason and found it out on my recent trip is that it can also lessen travel anxiety about possibly losing your luggage and could potentially get you to filling out paperwork faster.
So... this ignored what they do when they find your luggage. First of all, they almost always know exactly where it is, but they don't get to scan through another airports baggage computers so they can't tell you. If you are actually running through the airport to make your connection, you're luggage WILL be "lost". It's still on the plane you just ran off of. The airline will put it on the next flight to the airport you just connected to. The more connections you make, the longer it will take your bag to catch up. When your bag arrives at your destination, it scans in just like it would have if you were both on the same plane. It's secured and delivered to your home or hotel. If you're luggage is several airports back, or more genuinely lost, the airline will usually give you a stipend (mine was $200) to buy clothes and toiletries to hold you over until you are reunited with your luggage. Obviously, since people don't pack all of their laundry or full size toiletries, if you're going home when your luggage is lost, you probably won't get paid unless they cannot find your luggage at all, and then it will likely be more money. Long story short: your bag will turn up. But it's still a good idea to leave your favorite or most valuable things at home.
@@nostalgia545 That's why in this day and age, more and more travelers have been putting air tags, GPS trackers, and other tracking microchips in their luggages. Gotta track lost luggages yourself because the airlines can't be bothered to do their jobs anymore.
They missed the biggest truth of lost luggage. NEVER check your bag at the CURB side check in. Even if they tell you too. Go inside and check it at the counter. Most lost luggage is from checking it outside at the curb. That is actually a fact of why luggage goes missing. Then from connecting flights.
I've never heard of curbside check in. That sounds like a great way for some shady person to just walk up and steal stuff like it's his job. I always take my bag as far as it will go. I'm fond of gate check, because that means that my bag goes directly onto my plane.
Curb side check in, or Skycap service is a gratuity-based service to skip the line inside. These Skycaps work for a 3rd party and never for the airlines. It is a service you pay for by tipping. Statistically there is no difference when it comes to the loss of the bag. As the video points out, losses happen during transfers a most of the time. Maybe you forgot to tip your skycap for their service?
Whenever I travel with someone I trust I'll swap 2 changes of clothing in a plastic bag with a friend's bag & when we're at the destination we swap back, so if there is a problem with one suitcase, you or your friend aren't stuck in a single pair of clothing.

If you're that worried about your luggage being lost. Put a hidden tracker inside your luggage one of those expensive ones that actually work and give live feedback
The bag wasn't lost, it arrived two days after me at my destination. Fortunately I was staying with my parents. The Personnel brought it to my parents house. For this reason I travel carry-on only for 99% of my trips.
Lost my carry on bag.....it's been over a week now with no update other than to say they still haven't found it. I've contacted the airport I lost it at, my destination airport and the airline. Luckily I lost it in my home country and I've got all my contact information including my address inside the bag. It's very upsetting though, I feel like I'm never getting it back because there are valuables inside I suspect will be stolen.
I once lost a bag going back to college. The keys to my dorm were in it so I was worried about getting it back. The airlines were pretty good about helping me get it back. They didn't have any information about where it was when I got to the desk but they did eventually find that it never got on my connection (even though the layover was over 6 hours long -_-). My sister who lives nearby, thank God, was nice enough to lend me some clothes and take me to Target for some unmentionables. I did eventually get the bag back the next evening and was back at school the week after.
If you buy a ticket with a scheduled 2 hour layover connection time and you check in luggage your luggage will pretty much always arrive as you do. Book a flight with 45 minute or less connection time and the odds of you arriving but not your stuff on the same flight increases greatly. 😊😊
Who is watching this bcs they’ve just arrived home without they’re 23 kg baggage 😂😂?? I’ve changed 3 planes from Mexico to Romania and I’ve came back without my things ...it is absolutely wonderful
Well, that severly limits your options to get adequate belongings(clothing, etc) to your destination for a longer term stay. I usually put clothing + other non valuables in my checked bag and keep electronics(which some of them are not allowed in a checked bag) and other valuables to my overhead bin bag.
This is sad and ashamed My husband went from Dallas to Paris on American Air line and Paris to Colombo in Sri Lankan He lost one luggage and got it after 2 days and stuff was missing
Seems like the connection flights on tight schedule are a nice loophole for terrorists to leverage: since Panam Flight n. 103 it is prohibited to check in luggage without the owner getting on plane. But these connected flights might be a suitable flaw to abuse.
I lost my baggage .. My flight was on 2 may with Delta from MCO-LAX and I missed my connecting flight LAX-ICN, and ICN-CGK. I supposed to arrive at CGK on 4 May. And I booked other flight LAX-SIN and SIN-CGK arrived on 5 May. And I dont know where are my checked baggage right now I checked my baggage from MCO to final destination in CGK
travel light ? are you kidding me ? even when you just bring a carry on bag . They still sometimes force you to put the bag under the plane because they allowing people to pay extra to bring TWO carry on bags! taking the spot of another person, which ends up making their bag get lost!
Dont blame us,put a tag in your bag with your phone number,email so we can contact when we find your bags...the problem bag handles fall off and including your precious bag tag...dont blame the airlines it is brutal so if your bag is weak or older it probably wont make it
Arrive EARLY for your flight if checking baggage...book flights with 2 hour connection time at least. Make sure you have name tags that can be READ on the luggage. Do not stuff so much stuff into the lughage that you can barely close it and if your luggage was made in 1965 buy some new stuff!😊
My luggage problems were DAMAGE to bags- twice in a row by Sunwing. i cannot speak for AirCanada, because i refuse wherever possible to hand over money to companies which have gender/racial affirmative action quotas. i will be reducing where possible my business to Porter for this later reason ,until Porter rescinds that hiring/promotion policy. so i now fly mostly West Jet

That luggage graveyard gave me the creeps.
Its so annoying that our stuff just goes to be sold. Like it’s yours but because of someone’s incompetence the airlines makes money from it

ID tags in the outside and inside of our luggage is a really good idea! Will be doing that for now on 👍🏼

Well, we have an airtag in ours and airline doesn't care. We can tell them exactly where they left it and no one gives an F.

Here is the thing... luggage isn’t supposed to travel without a passenger. The conveyor is not that advanced in the majority of airports.
That is a FAA rule. This video is Canadian news clip. The TCCA (Canada's version of the FAA have different rules)

I do this too, as well as adding a change of clothes to carry on bag if both checked bags go missing
I’m convinced that the rings around the planet Saturn is completely made up of lost luggage.
If you're that worried about your luggage being lost. Put a hidden tracker inside your luggage one of those expensive ones that actually work and give live feedback
Fortunately with all the traveling that I have done in my life time (so far), I never had any issues with lost or misplaced luggage. Knock on wood!

Did you ever get it back?
Hi did you get it back?
if this happens in Canada the airline is legally required to reimburse you for any out of pocket expenses directly related to the lost luggage
Have you ever had the unfortunate experience of losing your luggage?

3:15 "A lot can cause confusing for bags behind it", I like to image all the bags are sentient and they are all cursing and yelling with confusion.

The sad who want be supported just to see others also lose their baggage:(
The planes should not leave if the baggages are not fully loaded. They know how many baggages they can expected when people checking in.
No problem
Ive never been on a plane, but I always thought the idea of them just losing my stuff was insane.
this is why whenever i go on flights, I would usually bring the luggage with me on the airplane so that it's easier to avoid lost luggage.
How do you take a 23 kg luggage on airplane yourself
