Now many people choose to fly for the convenience of traveling. Every time after a long flight, we can't wait to leave the airport. However, when the passengers of the same flight leave the baggage conveyor belt one after another, you find a cruel fact - your luggage is lost! In fact, the loss of luggage is not an accident, not only for ordinary people, but also for stars. So what about the lost luggage?
First of all, you need to make sure that your luggage is really lost.
Because the bag disappears on the conveyor belt, it may also be due to the following reasons:
1. The luggage hasn't arrived yet. This is the most common situation, especially before the Spring Festival, during the May 1st and 11th small holidays. When we take a large plane, there is a lot of passenger flow and checked baggage. The car running luggage may have to run several times to transport all the luggage from the plane to the hall.
2. With special luggage. If you have any out of specification or fragile items in your luggage, you need to go to the out of specification baggage to pick them up. Because the luggage was not put on the belt.
3. It was too late and missed the luggage. Sometimes, we may miss our luggage because we go to the bathroom. At this time, the ground crew has taken your luggage off the conveyor belt. In this case, you only need to look around the loading tray to see your luggage. What about the loss of checked baggage? Solutions to lost checked baggage
If all the above situations are excluded, I'm sorry to tell you that your luggage is indeed lost. But don't panic. There will always be a solution
First of all, go to the baggage service counter, which is a special place for handling baggage problems. Remember to find the baggage service counter of your airline in the airport (sometimes there may be several airlines sharing a baggage service counter). Usually the staff at the luggage service counter will simply ask about the size, style, color of your luggage and whether you have a name tag. (the luggage service counter will usually prepare a variety of common luggage style, color and size comparison templates for your convenience, so don't worry about the language
Then, the staff will check the whereabouts of your luggage according to the receipt when you check it. Usually, most bags can be found by inquiry. (if you can't find your baggage information through the system, it will be useful to ask about the appearance of your baggage before!)
Then, no matter what the result of this query is, you will get a 'delayed baggage registration number'. Through this number, you can find the current status of the baggage on the airline's official website.
When you have confirmed where your luggage is, it is recommended that you go to the airport to wait for your luggage. Because airport delivery delay baggage is like the seller's express delivery, it needs to arrange time periods and lines, so it can't be delivered to you at the first time when the baggage arrives. If you are in a hurry, you can wait in place. Of course, if the baggage can not arrive on the same day, you can also choose to leave the airport first by leaving the address and contact information.
Finally, according to the regulations of different airlines, if we haven't received the lost baggage after reporting the loss for a certain period of time (usually 72 hours to 7 days), we need to prepare for the loss of baggage for a long time. At this time, we need to enter the compensation procedure.
The usual compensation process starts with a form called the lost luggage questionnaire. The main part of this form is that you need to make a list of the items contained in the lost luggage, which needs to be specific to the purchase time and purchase amount of each item, so as to calculate when making compensation.

Some small ways to avoid the loss of luggage
1. Make your suitcase look 'different'. As like as two peas, the luggage is not much choice in appearance and color. There are several similar or even identical suitcases on the same flight. But we can change the decoration: for example, we can put a case cover on the case, or stick several case stickers, and then hang the luggage tag with the name and contact information, and the case will be very eye-catching.
2. Cool luggage tickets may be the 'culprit' for the loss of luggage. I also think it's cool that the box is full of luggage tickets, but the luggage sorter doesn't think so, because it's hard to confirm which one he should scan this time.
3. Check in on time and complete the shipping formalities. During this period, pay attention to whether the luggage ticket is properly pasted on the luggage, and confirm to the ground service whether the luggage is directly hung to the destination or needs to be picked up and re checked in at the transfer place.
4. Pay attention to the transit time when booking. Give yourself and your luggage plenty of time to transfer.
5. Buy insurance. When buying air tickets or travel insurance, consider buying insurance for your luggage.
