Hua Diansi "dress up" luggage can reduce the loss of luggage

Nowadays, whether it is leisure vacation or visiting relatives and business trips, airplanes have become the first choice of more and more people. So, how should we avoid the situation that disturbs our happy mood on security inspection and luggage consignment?

Quick and easy security check

Starting from August 28th, international airports such as Capital Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao, Pudong Airport and Guangzhou Baiyun Airport have all implemented the second-level security inspection orders issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China. It is understood that China's civil aviation boarding security inspection is divided into three levels: the lowest is the third level security inspection, that is, the normal security inspection; the second level security inspection requires passengers to take off their shoes, remove the belt, and accept the handheld detector inspection, and the strict random inspection rate of personal belongings is not less than 50% ; The first-level security inspection will carry out the strictest inspection for all passengers, 100% of personal belongings are double-checked by machine and manpower, and luggage shall also be tested by explosive detectors.

Passengers with flying experience know that dangerous goods are naturally not allowed to pass through airport security, including firearms, equipment and imitations, ammunition pyrotechnics, controlled knives, flammable and explosive materials (including lighters), poisonous products, corrosion Sex items, radioactive items, etc. In addition to the above-mentioned dangerous goods, the liquid medicines that the original diabetes and other patients must carry need to undergo a safety inspection and are undoubtedly handed over to the crew for safekeeping. The skin care products that ladies often bring around are also limited. Paste and gel items cannot exceed 100 ml, otherwise they will have to be checked in.

Lin Jiang, a tour guide from Guangzhou Golden Horse Travel Agency, is specifically responsible for sending tourists to the airport at the airport. He reminded: "If you want to bring skin care products, you can actually use a travel suit with a capacity of less than 100 ml before traveling; knifes can threaten personal safety You ca n’t carry any items with you; in addition, lithium batteries cannot be checked. You must carry them with you, and there is no limit on the number. "

When the airport is performing Level 3 security screening, the security screening time is estimated to be about ten seconds. However, if you meet the requirements of second-level security screening, if you want to pass quickly, do not wear a belt, no metal products on your body, wear sandals or slippers on your feet, no or less metal products and liquids in your bag.

Huadian thinks of luggage "escort"

Before the baggage delivery belt, I watched one piece of baggage taken away by their owner, but my baggage was still missing. This is something that all passengers flying by plane do not want to encounter. So before we can check baggage, what can we do to "protect" our luggage and prevent it from being reduced to a "wandering child"? Experienced tour guides, ground staff, and travel experts offer tips for everyone: that is to spend a little time to dress up your luggage.

The first move is to make a unique luggage tag for the suitcase. On both sides of the baggage tag, write the "Inside My Itinerary" (in several languages) in both Chinese and English, and then prepare a detailed itinerary on the baggage tag, indicating the flight information and contact information , Date, destination, hotel name, address and other information to ensure that the luggage or wrongly received, staff or others can contact you, and can be accurately returned to you. In addition, a copy of the itinerary information is placed in the luggage, in case the luggage tag outside the luggage box is dropped, and contact information cannot be found. This is a trick that many travel agencies have prepared and suggested for group members before boarding the plane. It is worth learning.

The second measure is to decorate your suitcase. Many suitcases are similar, and it is easy to be mistaken. When choosing a suitcase, choose a color or pattern that is easy to recognize. You may use colored tape or a sharp marker to mark it. You can also use it on the handle Silk scarves are tied with bows, hemp braids, etc. to make your case unique. In case someone else gets it wrong, in case it is lost, it is easy to retrieve it according to the characteristics of the suitcase.

The third measure is to ensure that the suitcase corresponds to your own itinerary. Some suitcases were originally labeled with the barcode of the last trip. This must be cleared so as not to cause misjudgment by the staff; check and confirm whether the delivery consultation on the newly provided barcode is correct, especially the destination. write clearly. The stub part of the consignment bar code should be saved so that it can be tracked after the baggage is lost.

The fourth measure is to classify luggage. When packing your luggage, remember to carry valuables with you, and the suitcases contain items that are less important or inconvenient to prevent illegal people from coveting your belongings. "Several years ago, at an international airport, the staff found that there were metal objects in the suitcase through the X-ray machine, they would pry open and take the things away, or take the box directly." Senior donkey Q told reporters. The donkey friend "misiacat" summed up the experience of luggage consignment: "My box was damaged by prying open it forcibly and three of them were damaged. Now my principle is that valuables are not checked and the box is not locked. Notebook, jewelry and Clothes are definitely not placed in the suitcase. Books and ordinary daily necessities are checked in. "This objectively reduces the probability of lost and damaged luggage.

If your luggage is not large, it is recommended not to check in. Some airline ground staff analyzed that many of the checked baggage lags because the baggage contains prohibited items such as lighters, batteries, etc. The baggage will be issued by the airport security card. In addition, if too many old luggage tags are affixed to the passenger's luggage, the luggage identification in the sorting system will also be affected. Try to avoid the above situation, so that luggage can arrive at the same time as passengers.

How to lose your luggage

According to incomplete statistics, global airlines have to handle nearly 2 billion pieces of luggage every year, with the loss or delay rate approaching 1%. The most important reason for the loss of luggage is that the luggage was sent to the wrong airport. The compensation standards for lost luggage are divided into domestic and international. According to the "Regulations on Domestic Air Transport Carriers and Liability Limits", the compensation standard for baggage loss is no more than 100 yuan / kg; for international routes, according to the "Montreal Convention", the compensation standard is no more than $ 30 / kg.

If unfortunately, your luggage is lost, do n’t panic. First of all, you should consult the airport staff with a boarding pass and luggage ticket to find out whether your luggage is delayed or really lost, so you must not board the aircraft. Arbitrarily place air tickets (e-tickets), boarding passes, and luggage tags. If your luggage is on the next flight and the interval is short, you can wait at the airport; if the waiting time is too long, you can ask them to deliver the luggage to your designated location within the promised time.

Do n’t forget to enjoy your due rights while waiting for your baggage for a long time, that is, airlines will generally pay passengers who have been waiting for baggage for cash to buy urgently needed items such as changing clothes and toiletries, or let passengers stay within the specified limit Purchase some urgent necessities by yourself, reimburse with the invoice, no need to return afterwards.

If it has been determined that the baggage is lost, compensation must be negotiated with the airline. Generally speaking, the airline ’s compensation for lost baggage is calculated by weight. If the checked baggage value exceeds 50 yuan per kilogram, the declared value of the baggage can be processed, but it cannot exceed the actual value of the baggage itself. The maximum declared value of each passenger's baggage is RMB 8,000. The airline charges a surcharge of five thousandths of the declared value. If the luggage is lost, it will be compensated according to the declared value.
