But I assume from your phrasing that you've never done this. Because most people try to track down their luggage immediately and have no issue being reunited with their stuff.

Same. Anyone that flies regularly knows airlines are the worst at finding your bags that THEY lost, and you can spend weeks calling to useless numbers where you can never get a human on, just automated options and then on the rare occasion you can talk to a human all they say is they have no idea where it is. You can write to all emails, chatbots, and can spend months without any straight answer. Only clueless people think airlines 'really try their best' and this vids baseless statistic. This is straight up theft. Disgusting. THEY should incur costs of finding and storing things THEY lost. The measly 'insurance' barely covers the cost of the luggage bag itself since they've become so expensive. The worst part of traveling is dealing with 'luggage claim', no matter what airline or country it is from (I travel a lot so have had to deal with any and all sizes of airlines).

This looks like something straight out of a movie! So cool!

My best find was an almost new petzel helmet on clearance. $2.83. Still use it as my caving helmet. Not as many treasures to be found anymore. Think if it as a really expensive thrift store.

Oh wow so they can’t find peoples lost luggage when they’re looking for it but they know where it is when it’s time to sell it in a store.

Because the airlines held the stuff and waited 90 DAYS for each person to come collect their stuff. Like even during the height of the coronavorus in 2021 there were 99 MILLION people traveling to and from the United states that year. Even if just 0.5% of people lost their luggage that is 495,000 people. Even if only 0.5% of them were unable to get their stuffback that is about 2,475 people. The airlines should not be expected to have to hold 2475 peoples stuff for them indefinitely.

Did you not watch the video? They literally talk about how both the airline and the donation center do everything humanly possible to reunite the goods with their owner. They are successful 99.5% of the time. A lost and found is not permanent free storage. Better these goods, like wheelchairs and reading glasses, get a second life because otherwise they would just end up in a landfill. Do you really think buying one airline ticket entitles you to lifetime free storage of your luggage? The luggage is also insured by the airline, so a lot of these people are being well compensated, I believe it's up to $1,700.

@@_Smarf_ Yeah, I'm sure the person who lost relics that are "hundreds of years older than Jesus" just forgot to file a claim. And I'm sure the $1,700 was plenty to compensate for the thousands years old relics! If you think that theft doesn't happen in the industry then you're delusional. You really think somebody just didn't bother reclaiming such valuable things? And if they're such rare and valuable things as thousands years old relics you would think it would be a big deal and rather easy to locate such unique cargo, but they didn't. If you think there isn't shady shit going on here and that these people just aren't collecting such valuable things then I've got a bridge to sell you.

It’s amazing how many people in the comments simply believe what they hear in a video. Do the airlines really make enough of an effort to return things? I doubt it. When was the last time you’ve experienced a major corporation going out of their way to help customers? I don’t believe that this many people lose their bags and just decide not to claim them, more likely they were never told that their bags were found.

I bet all those people are FURIOUS 😂😂😂

So...if the airline loses my luggage, and THEY can't track it down within 90 days, even though I have made all the right enquiries...are my belongings deemed to be 'unclaimed'? The saying 'one mans trash is another mans treasure' doesn't really apply when we are talking about peoples personal effects. It's pretty obvious that a lot of the items here wouldn't have been so easily disregarded. I'd be furious if my belongings were lost and ended up here...being given a bit of insurance money wouldn't cut it.

This is great and all except: I'd be livid if my belongings were sent to a thrift store to be sold off. The airline passengers never consented to their luggage being sold off to a 3rd party customer to do with as they please. I'd reckon that 99% of airline passengers whose luggage was lost BY the airline company would want that luggage back, even if it is past 90 days. For example, the guy who lost his fishing reel. He was happy to get it back even though it had been lost for more than 90 days and sold off to Unclaimed Baggage. The airline companies should keep the lost luggage until they can reunite it with the passenger. They made a contract with that passenger. The passenger gives them money and the airline delivers the passenger AND their belongings to a determined destination.
