Locate your luggage during your holidays with thethings.iO

Has your luggage ever been lost while traveling or been traveling with someone whose did? If so, you know it is a nightmare that can ruin your trip. The situation is extremely frustrating and stressful for travelers. Imagine traveling to a ski resort with no ski apparel or having to go to an important business meeting with no business suit. That would definitely be a downer on your trip. Often, people never see their lost luggage again and it is donated to charity or auctioned off for a bargain price.

In 2016, about 6 bags per 1.000 passengers were lost. This number translates to around 20 million suitcases that were lost that year. Surprisingly, this number was low compared to previous years. The number of travelers has been on the rise over the past years and trend is expected to continue. This challenges airlines ability to handle everyone’s luggage properly ever further. Airlines have made a lot of improvements to their luggage transit systems, but despite their efforts they are still losing many bags each day. Most often, connecting flights have the highest rates of lost luggage.
