[Travel Tips] Check your luggage immediately after you hauled it off the belt

Conveyor belt of Taiwan's Taoyuan International Airport

This is something I only came to know few days, while having a chit-chatting with a relative who used to work in the aviation industry.

He shared with a piece of information maybe some of you guys already aware of it that is - "Check your luggage immediately after you hauled it off the belt."

If the luggage was damaged in the process when hauled it off from the airplane to the conveyor belt, the passenger should immediately notify the "Lost and Found" counter or the relevant department of the airport.

That is only if your travel insurance covers such occurrence if such event took place.

Normally, according to what my relative told me, the relevant authority are liable to such incident, and in even that the damaged luggage cannot be repaired, a new luggage of similar value will be compensated to the owner.

So do aware of this, check your luggage and whosoever should such incident takes place...
