Holiday Travel Alert: Avoid Baggage Disasters This Season
As peak holiday travel ramps up, millions of travellers face increased risks of delayed, lost, or stolen baggage – potentially derailing holiday plans. Don’t let travel disruptions ruin your trip.
The experts at InsureMyTrip are sharing actionable tips to minimize baggage mishaps and ensure peace of mind.
Before You Head to the Airport:
- Book direct flights to reduce transfer risks.
- Purchase travel insurance for baggage loss and delays.
- Photograph luggage contents for insurance claims.
- Use tracking devices/apps and clearly ID luggage inside and out.
- Pack essentials and valuables in your carry-on.
At the Airport:
- Remove old airline tags to prevent routing errors.
- Avoid last-minute check-ins and double-check baggage tag destinations.
When the Unexpected Happens:
Travel insurance can save the day. Baggage delay benefits reimburse essentials when bags are delayed (6-24 hours or longer), while baggage loss coverage reimburses for stolen or irretrievably lost luggage and contents.
Experts recommend reviewing plans to ensure coverage aligns with your trip’s value and risks. For those travelling with high-value items, supplemental coverage can be a game-changer.
