Flying This Holiday? Buy Baggage Coverage

Avoid a holiday mishap of destroyed or lost luggage.

The festive season is here! If you’re traveling or flying over the holidays, you’ll have a lot of think about! During the midst of shopping, flight organizing, and present packing, and securing your home for your departure, your precious belongings that are traveling with you are often forgotten about.

There is no quicker way to spoil your present surprises than finding out that it’s been destroyed in transit, or that the airline has lost your luggage entirely. Unfortunately, the occurrence of these situations increase over the holidays as more people are flying, more flights are taking off, and extra luggage is checked in on board.

What You Don’t Know
Most travelers assume that the airline will reimburse them if their baggage is permanently lost or destroyed in flight. The reality of this is that the airlines assert strong limits on their liability for lost or damaged checked luggage. From the airline taking weeks (or months) to admit the bag is lost, to each carrier maintaining a long list of items that they won’t cover at all, you may never receive compensation from airlines.

In any case, baggage insurance is a worthy investment when traveling – especially during peak times, a.k.a. the holidays!

What You Should Know
Baggage insurance is intended to provide replacement value (up to certain limits) for baggage that is lost, stolen, or destroyed during your trip, not just on the flight. It should be noted that expensive items just as high-end jewelry, furs, cameras, and sporting equipment should be covered by a homeowners insurance policy.

A travel plan with baggage coverage provides the best protection for your bag, personal items, and souvenirs, so you and your family needn’t face loss over Christmas!
