I’m sure we have all been there at least once and what an ordeal it can be. You arrive at the airport all set for a great holiday only to find your bags are missing. It is a situation which can cause great stress to many travelers.
A recent survey was undertaken to find out which airlines have the worst record when it comes to losing baggage. Twenty six airlines took part in the project all of which were European based. The survey was carried out over last winter ending on the last day of March. It was organized by the Association of European Airlines.
Topping the poll was Iberia Airlines who lost 19.2 bags per one thousand passengers. Air France came in a close second losing 18.9 bags per one thousand passengers. TAP Portugal came in third with 17.3 bags.
Despite still losing 15.6 bags per thousand passengers British Airways showed an improvement over previous figures. Previous losses were put down to the airlines new terminal five. Previous figures showed BA to be losing an astonishing thirty eight bags per thousand passengers.
