• 1:48
  Speaker 1: are tips for how to prepare, be proactive, and how
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to reduce reduce the risk. So fly NonStop if you can.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Is the most common cause of lost luggage is changing planes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: so try not to change planes. If you can do
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a non stop, open your bag and take pictures. This
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: will make it easier to file the claim for lost items.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Use a tracker like an Apple air tag, which we do,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: our family does. That you'll be able to find your
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: bag more easily. If they do lose it. You can
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: show them on your phone. Hey, it's right here. Yeah,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hang on to that check bag tag. The airline will
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have a much easier way of tracking that down. And
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: also a lot of times it's in your app. Now
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you don't have to hold onto that physical piece of paper.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It's in the app, which is very helpful. And then
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: file the claim immediately. If your bag is gone, go
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: to the lost luggage desk before you leave the airport.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: They'll deliver to your home or vacation spot, and if

• 2:49
  Speaker 1: forty seven hundred?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah for a whole hundred, so it's a lot of souvenirs.

  Speaker 1: who has forty seven hundred dollars worth of stuff.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I still don't want to lose my stuff though, but yes, yeah,

  Speaker 2: I never have that much. I think the hardest thing
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: for me would be again, well it would stink if
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you're going on your vacation and you don't have your stuff,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: but coming home, if you do have any special souvenirs.
