Whilst this will of little comfort... at least it seems that the airlines are expecting this and have plans in place.
Interesting because I believe every airline clearly states they have extremely limited liability when high value or fragile items are checked. And highly recommend they not be checked because they absolutely will not guarantee their safe transport.
And they all list photo gear and computers as those kind of items.
So another cash grab in the works? Maybe a highly overpriced transit insurance. Say 10% of declared value? 100 bucks to transport 1000 bucks of laptop/camera? No consequential damage coverage of course.
