Traveling across the country or around the world hasn't been
this difficult since the days of covered wagons and tall masted sailing
ships. At least back then it was easier to keep track of your luggage!
Focusing specifically on the subject of travel luggage, "The Empty
Carousel: A Consumer's Guide to Checked And Carry-on Luggage by
Scott T. Mueller is an indispensable travel guide for airline passengers
traveling today's airlines in an era where there is an average of
10,000 lost luggage pieces each day in the USA alone! In just ten
compact chapters of tips, trick, techniques, and practical advice,
readers will learn what they must do to insure the safety and
retrievability of their luggage with respect to baggage check-in and
proper identification; luggage and locks; preparations for packing;
luggage damage and insurance coverage; luggage thieves; domestic vs.
international compensation for lost or damaged luggage; luggage security
at the airport carousel; where luggage goes when it disappears; filing
luggage claims with an airline; and 'Make the Best of Your Travel
Experience'. Informed and informative, "The Empty
Carousel" should be considered mandatory reading for anyone
traveling today's airlines, foreign or domestic!
