United lost checked shotgun for 36 days, before finally finding it and returning it. SLC-LAX connecting in SFO

Virgin Atlantic delayed luggage one day on trip to South Africa, causing lost day of safari. LAX-JNB connecting in LHR

Alaska lost a bag on a direct flight from IAD to SEA, never recovered; so far one year.

Delta lost snorkel equipment for 3 days on 5 day drip to Hawaii. LAX-KOA direct

Air France delayed luggage 1 day, CDG-LAX direct.

Delta delayed luggage 1 day, ATL-LAX direct

Due to my experiences I am extremely reluctant to check luggage.
That is some bad luck.

I have a friend who repeatedly got his bag lost by VX on SFO-LAS. They kept sending them to LAX instead of LAS. Mine never had that problem.
