Have you ever stood at an empty airport luggage return carousel as it circles endlessly, wondering if your bag was somehow diverted to Kathmandu? Have you ever been told the last location of your checked bag was somewhere between, it's sure to turn up somewhere, and you should consider buying everything new? Have you ever been ghosted by a suitcase that contained essential materials? Well, if so, this message might interest you.

Today I will talk about lost luggage.

An estimated 33 million bags were mishandled at airports last year.
