The Empty Carousel is a great guide for today’s air travel consumer.
With record numbers of travelers and record quantities of checked luggage, the reported instances of baggage mishandles have been driven to the highest levels ever seen. And, recent security changes imposed by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) have only added more complications to the already overstrained check-in and carry-on baggage handling system—for both the customer and the airlines.
You, the air travel consumer, pay the greatest price for these mishandles, but the resulting costs to an already struggling airline industry are also growing at alarming rates.
As a (former) manager of a Central Baggage Service Office, I dealt with your losses and the inconveniences you suffered. Those experiences inspired me to write this book. I helped thousands of you over the years with lost luggage, delayed bags, damaged suitcases, or pilfered belongings. I felt your pain
and heard your stories—a once-in-a-lifetime vacation ruined; an
irreplaceable family heirloom damaged or stolen; a business presentation lost; and so many more.
What will not change any time soon is how the airlines handle all the masses
and masses of luggage they move each day. What can change is the way
you protect yourself and your property so that when you do have luggage
problems, your losses and inconveniences will be minimal and recoverable.
Educate yourself by reading The Empty Carousel so you don’t become one of next year's lost luggage statistics.
DID YOU KNOW…
- That the instances of mishandled luggage increased by 40% from 2005 to 2006?
- That when you file a lost luggage claim, all burdens of proof fall on you, the traveler?
- That when you buy a ticket on an airline, you are bound by the rules of the airline’s “Contract of Carriage”?
- That the airlines depreciate the value of your lost, pilfered, or damaged property, so that you are not reimbursed at current replacement value when you file a baggage claim?
- That 7000 items from unclaimed baggage are placed onto the shelves of the “Lost Luggage Store” in Alabama every day for resale to the public
Do you know the differences between the “Warsaw Convention” and the “Montreal Convention”? Or how those treaties affect you when you travel internationally from the United States or when you originate from a foreign country and travel into the United States?
The Empty Carousel will provide you with the information you need to avoid becoming another statistic.
Most airline baggage regulations and carry-on baggage restrictions, as well
as your rights with checked and carry-on luggage, are vague-if you can even
find them! The Empty Carousel gathers this information and more,
explains it, and reveals what you can do so you don't become another victim
or statistic in the uncertain world of checked and carry-on luggage.
