You wait so long in front of the conveyor belt at the airport, but the bag and suitcase you do not also appear. In fact, the other passengers had taken their luggage each. Who would not panic if you experience anything like this?
Long wait? Lest your bags do not arrive safely.
The case of lost luggage of passengers is quite common. According to the survey conducted by an institute in the United States, one of 150 passengers encounter problems with baggage, whether it is missing or is not transported in the proper plane. Although no similar survey in Indonesia, these findings give a warning that this issue should not be taken lightly. Here are some suggestions to avoid lost luggage:
Not carrying luggage
The easiest way to avoid lost luggage is not carrying luggage at all. But surely you can not carry all the stuff casually into the aircraft cabin. Particularly low-cost airlines, they apply very strict rules regarding the weight of luggage. Usually a maximum of 7 kg.
Therefore, apply the principle concise pack and take the necessary items only. If forced to carry a lot of stuff, avoid entering all the suitcases or bags into the trunk. What happens if baggage is lost and you do not bring anything into the cabin? Make sure important items and some clothes brought with you. It's just in case your luggage is problematic.
Do check in early
Because lazy queue, many people choose check in a few minutes before the window closed. Their assumptions, why rush, anyway we could walk quickly to the aircraft parking lot in less than 10 minutes. But you know, this habit can make you lose your luggage. You could have walked hastily to the plane, but your luggage does not. The process to be followed baggage longer and complex than humans. Every day, thousands of airport personnel should take care of the luggage of passengers. If you are late check-in, we can be sure will interfere with the mechanism of action and the possibility of your luggage could be lost. For reasons of security, airport officials often also have to unload baggage. Imagine if that departure time is so very short, it could be your luggage could not get on the plane.
Give identity
I had an interesting experience when on board Singapore Airlines. Upon check-in all the passengers were asked to write the name, address, flight number, telephone number and location of the destination on a sticker that is then attached to the bag or suitcase. Unfortunately not all of the airline implemented the way, but it can reduce the risk of lost luggage.
Lost luggage cases often occur because officers mislabeled or label damaged when the luggage was taken. Well, if there is identity of the owner of the suitcase or bag, the officer will be easier to identify them and send them to the correct flight. If the airline you are riding does not require the writing of the identity, try to make your own stickers or write your details on the easy looks.
Choose direct flights
The case of lost luggage is more common in transit flight. When in transit, we must move luggage plane and this brings its own complexities. These professionals are often less strict no mechanism to regulate the transit passenger baggage. Not surprisingly, the case of lost luggage to be higher.
Photo all the luggage
Before leaving for the airport, get used to photograph all of your luggage with a mobile phone or other device that is practical. Officers will be easier to identify your luggage after the photo shown. The photos will also serve as proof of ownership if you got a problem with luggage.
