A surge in lost luggage in the post-pandemic travel recovery has instilled fear as peak summer travel approaches.. In response, airports and airlines are ramping up efforts to mitigate the issue, and there are a number of measures travellers can take to help their bag make it safely to its destination, reports the New York Times.
