Errors of passengers, due to which luggage is lost
Lost luggage during a flight can ruin a vacation or seriously disrupt your plans during a business trip. However, many passengers often make a mistake, which leads to the loss of baggage, and airlines are not at all to blame.
According to baggage handlers at airports, the main reason for luggage loss is that passengers check in very late for the flight, reports Only in Your State.
Here's how later arriving on a flight leads to an increased risk of luggage loss.
After you check in your baggage at the check-in counter, it does not immediately go to the plane. Each bag goes through a complex process of scanning and security checks, which usually takes at least an hour.
Such checks are necessary to ensure flight safety and are mandatory. Only after that the baggage is transported and loaded onto the aircraft. If the plane in question is already preparing to take off, then, of course, the crew will not delay the flight in order to open the luggage compartment again and load your suitcase.
This means that even if you have passed all the checks and got on the plane on time, your baggage can still go through the scanning process while you are already in flight.
