Poor baggage handling tends to be a function of the airport rather than the carrier unless the checkin operator sticks the wrong label on the bag which happened to me once. I was flying to London from Columbus Ohio via Newark and my bag didnt arrive. When we looked closely at the baggage stub it was clear that they had sent my bag to Boston. I got it back 3 days later. The worst airport for damaged baggage I have come across was JFK. They totally destroyed one suitcase which looke like it had been dragged across the tarmac behind the bagges truck. Another had wheel tracks across it where it had been run over ! The slowest baggage handling was at Bahrain were a wait of one to two hours before the baggage made it to thecarousel was normal. Seasoned travellers used to head for one of the few seats and read or listen to music while waiting. Keith |

When we looked closely at the baggage stub it was clear that they had sent my bag to Boston. I got it back 3 days later. How many of us take a moment to look at their stub? I don't, and probably should. ( Presumably that particular failure mechanism is reduced in the age of barcoded baggage stickers generated by the same computer that is handling your itinerary and possibly printing your boarding pass. Then again, when things are crowded at the counter, it's easy enough for the clerk to put the right tag on the wrong bag...) I *do* have my name prominently and indelibly marked on the outside of my bags... and the inside too, as a final line of defense against truly vanished rather than merely misrouted luggage. The warehouse in Alabama or wherever that auctions off unidentifiable and too-long- unclaimed baggage has enough to do; no sense burdening them with my stuff. (Ah, here we go:http://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/) As for damage, I don't check (or mail) *anything* unless the contents are packed to survive being dropped off a second-storey balcony, which is about the distance to the tarmac from the cargo hatch of a lot of big passenger jets. And I get luggage out of the secondhand stores and rummage sales (my gold standard is one of those big Samsonite clams for a few dollars) and regard it as being, well, disposable packaging. (Used-looking luggage kinda goes with my aversion to glad- ragging while on travel anyway. Why look like any more of a target than I have to?) That having been said, I've not yet had the airlines lose a bag (knock on formica...) nor seriously damage one, though I seldom fly the airlines most notorious for this, per the fun facts on http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov/reports/ nor the airports that people seem to think of as riskiest for luggage. --Joe |
