A contract lounge is a lounge used by a bunch of airlines, while the list of UA pax being able to use that lounge may not be long, but how do you find out about guest ? And other airlines that use that lounge ? Doesn't make any sense at all !

I always place my computer bag in the overhead bin across from where I am sitting for the sole purpose of being able to see it when someone else opens the bin for something. This works even if you are sitting in a window seat.

Even if it was heavier, it can be easy to miss something in the rush of travel. I used to have to lug around a ginormous Lenovo, and one time I accidentally left it in the gray bin at security. You'd think I would have missed the weight, but I didn't have a clue it was missing until I went into my bag to get something else. Luckily, I was able to run off the plane, retrieve it, and make it back to my seat before the door closed, but it was close.

I'm always cautious about leaving things in a Lounge while going to the restroom but let my good senses guard down in Asia. Guess I won't feel so stupid dragging my luggage in the restroom or stall anymore. That lounge at KIX is also awful as it only has one restroom/stall for men. Sorry about your loss.

I work for a company that provides services to track and recover stolen laptops. We recover between 50 and 150 stolen devices per week (majority laptops, but also Samsung tablets & phones).
