STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Traveling can be a stressful experience, especially when you lose your luggage.

As more and more Americans return to air travel, with the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic finally starting to wane, making sure you select the right airline plays a crucial role in ensuring a smooth trip.

With that in mind, data journalism website Stacker sought to discover which airlines are most likely to lose or damage your luggage during a flight.

“By now, the most experienced travelers have mastered the age-old trick of carrying the necessities, including a change of clothes or two, in their carry-on, just in case they find themselves in this trip-ruining predicament,” wrote Madison Troyer of Stacker. “But there’s another way to avoid dealing with the lost baggage headache —knowing which airlines are most likely to mishandle your luggage and understanding their lost and damaged baggage policies just in case.”

Researchers analyzed October data from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 2021 Air Travel Consumer Report and listed the 10 airlines that mishandled the most bags per every 1,000 bags handled.
