Checking Luggage
As you prepare to pack your bags to reduce the carry-on luggage, please also consider the following
According to Consumer Reports, on average there were more than 10,000 mishandled luggage complaints a day against the large airlines in 2005. In addition, some travelers have reported an increase in theft from checked luggage. In calling the customer service lines of DELTA Airlines, the very courteous representative promptly read a script that DELTA Airlines is not responsible for electronics, jewelry or any other items stolen from checked luggage. Read the small print and think twice about what items you pack in luggage that you will check (especially if you travel through small airports).
* Please note that the list of approved items is subject to change by the TSA, and may also be subject to individual agent, airport or item interpretation.
