    Every time I’ve checked my bags I’ve been called a moron because my bags are going to get lost.

    And sadly those people are not wrong, I’ve had my luggage lost twice, and they don’t pay you back for that.

        Most likely, they pay something like $5/lb of lost luggage, which is not nearly enough

        I was lucky to eventually get the lost bags instead of a useless payment when my bags were lost

          Travel insurance? Regulation? Out of any insurance worth paying for, I think travel insurance is like top of the line. Anything goes wrong while travelling (stolen stuff, lost/delayed baggage/damaged rental car/cancelled flights/etc.) gives me a decent payback. I pay like 120 USD/yr.

          Regarding regulations: At least in the EU/EEA we have some decent regulations requiring airlines to reimburse you if they lose or delay your baggage.
