According to research by insurers, only 9% of luggage lost during a trip is lost due to the fault of airlines, much more often luggage is given to passengers damaged.

Almost every tenth traveler (11%), who has problems during a trip, faces with delayed baggage. Much more often, suitcases and bags are broken or torn during transportation or transportation, so about 90% of insurance cases for luggage were related to risks associated with damage.

Damage to luggage, qualified as its loss, caused payments in 46% of cases, and its loss by the carrier - only in 9%, analysts calculated.

Such protection is sold with air tickets on the websites of popular online agencies and airlines, allowing you to get money for damaged, lost and even lost luggage, for its delay in delivery during a transfer, as well as if the traveler canceled the trip or waited too long for the flight at the airport, and in the case of other risks that each of us sometimes faces on a trip.

57% of all passengers who lose luggage are women, they are more likely to face similar problems. Under the terms of insurance protection, the insurer pays for luggage repairs or pays for the purchase of a new suitcase, compensating for losses based on the weight of the luggage or the real value of the items. In the event of a delay in the delivery of the suitcase, the passenger receives insurance compensation based on the weight of the delayed luggage.

Insurers, as a rule, include in luggage insurance the most relevant risks that may occur during the trip. This is not only death or damage, but also luggage delay during a transfer. And for the greater convenience of insured passengers, the policy usually provides for a variety of approaches to settling the insured event.
