The 12 Airlines Most Likely to Lose Your Luggage

Recently, we took a look at the things that travelers most hate about flying. Unsurprisingly, one of the most-hated things about flying proved to be airlines that misplace your baggage. True enough, there is nothing more frustrating than arriving at your destination only to discover that you have exactly nothing of the things you packed to bring with you.

With this in mind, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at which carriers are the worst when it comes to keeping track of their passenger’s luggage. We thought we’d see a lot of no-name carriers at the top of the charts, but we were surprised. Some of the most well known airlines in the world are also some of the most notorious when it comes to misplacing bags. What to find out who they are? Let’s take a look.

1. United Airlines

According to statistics provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation, United loses about 2 bags per every 1,000 passengers.

This is one airline that knows how to do things right. They typically process less than 1,000 lost baggage claims per year – less than what most of the airlines on this list process per month.

11. Hawaiian Airlines

This is one of the better airlines on the list, but still… Processing around 750 lost baggage claims per month isn’t that good.
