According to a recent report, last year was a record-breaking year for foreign travel but also for lost or stolen luggage.

According to a survey by aviation technology firm SITA, the number of bags that were delayed, damaged, lost, or stolen rose by 24% in 2021 as a result of a rise in foreign flights. In fact, 4.35 baggage out of every 1,000 travelers were lost or damaged quordle.

The research found that airport staff shortages and cutbacks had an impact on baggage handling.

It's time for the industry to accomplish more with less, according to SITA CEO David Lavorel. "Aside from making sure that passengers' luggage is properly transported from point A to point B, our clients are also looking for ways to save costs and training time. Digitalization is speeding up because of increased need to improve operational efficiency."

More than 70 percent of mishandled baggage were delayed, which was compounded by an increase in long-haul flights with connections, according to the survey, as the chance of experiencing luggage difficulties is around 4.7 times greater on international routes than domestic ones..

In 2021, 6 percent of all difficulties will be caused by lost or stolen luggage, while 23 percent will be caused by damaged or pilfered luggage.

Luggage storage business LuggageHero found that Envoy Air, a minor airline in the United States, was the most likely to misplace or mishandle a bag, followed by American Airlines (which happens to own Envoy).

Customers' baggage was less likely to be lost on Allegiant Air than any other airline.

If a traveler misplaces their luggage while on the road, they should notify their airline right away and have their baggage claim check slip handy. Having images of their baggage, as well as knowing the bag's brand, size and color, is also beneficial.
