Excuse me?
Most likely, they pay something like $5/lb of lost luggage, which is not nearly enough
I was lucky to eventually get the lost bags instead of a useless payment when my bags were lost
Travel insurance? Regulation? Out of any insurance worth paying for, I think travel insurance is like top of the line. Anything goes wrong while travelling (stolen stuff, lost/delayed baggage/damaged rental car/cancelled flights/etc.) gives me a decent payback. I pay like 120 USD/yr.
Regarding regulations: At least in the EU/EEA we have some decent regulations requiring airlines to reimburse you if they lose or delay your baggage.
Next time I will fly anywhere, I'll make sure to get that travel insurance, thanks for a hint
The great thing is, it's not just for flights! My travel insurance gives me coverage as long as I'm travelling outside my home. It literally covers damage to my bike if I'm visiting my parents for the weekend, or road assistance if my car breaks down on my way to a hike.
That's essentially why I have it: Pretty much everything I bring with me on any trip that's not to-from work is covered.
That sounds too good to be true, I would expect it to be three or four separate insurances. I have only one that covers my bicycle and any problems I cause or get while riding it
