Background Research
Baggage handling and collection is a crucial aspect of air travel, but it can also be a major source of frustration for both travelers and staff.
More than 684,000 bags were mishandled in the first quarter of 2022, according to data from the Air Travel Consumer Reports published by the Department of Transportation. That’s roughly seven bags out of every 1,000 handled that are earmarked as lost baggage
