Airlines are loosing our bags!

According to recent research reviewed by Flight Centre airlines loose 25 million bags a year.  That's 1 in 100 passengers missing luggage.
The lesson from this is:
1. Ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cover lost luggage
2. Clearly label your bags, with bright straps or easily identifiable luggage labels.
3. Include your name/contact details both inside and outside your bag
4. Keep essential items with you as carry on e.g. meds, spare underwear etc.

At least with these measures if you end up being one of the unlucky 1 in 100 you have a greater chance of your luggage being returned quickly.
