Have you ever found yourself in a situation where, after landing at the airport, you casually head to the baggage claim area to collect your checked luggage, only to realize... it’s nowhere to be seen? If so, you know it can be an unforgettable experience. And if you wait for a while and still don’t spot your luggage, it might have actually been lost. So, what should you do next? Let’s check out some guidance from Mytour below.
If you don't receive your checked luggage from the conveyor belt at the airport, what should you do?
If you’ve carefully prepared your checked luggage, but after waiting for a while at the conveyor belt, you still haven’t received your suitcase, it’s likely that your luggage has been lost. Here’s what you should do:
- You should look for an airline or airport staff member and ask if all the bags and luggage have been removed from the plane. This step will help you confirm whether your luggage is indeed lost. If they confirm that all luggage has been unloaded, report your situation to them immediately so they can assist you.
- You can request to speak with a responsible staff member from the airline or a customer service representative. Most airports have a Lost and Found counter where issues related to lost luggage can be handled. Ask for the location of this counter to report your situation. The staff there may be able to track your luggage using your baggage tag. If it’s just misplaced, they’ll hopefully locate it and return it to you.
- If your suitcase was on the plane but is now missing at the airport, it’s possible that it has been stolen. Depending on the situation, you may need to write a report describing the suitcase’s appearance, color, distinguishing features, contents, and your contact details in case it is found and the airline can return it to you.

Carefully preparing your suitcase before the trip
"Prevention is better than cure," and this saying holds true. Even before your flight, it’s important to prepare your suitcase as thoroughly as possible. So, what should you do?
- Trước hết, hãy tham khảo kĩ về quy định trọng lượng, kích thước dành cho hành lý ký gửi của hãng hàng không bạn bay để có sự sắp xếp chuẩn xác nhất.
- Đối với vali ký gửi, không nên để các vật dụng có giá trị như tiền bạc, đồ trang sức, đồ điện tử, giấy tờ tùy thân… bên trong.
- Nếu có thể, hãy chọn chiếc vali có chất liệu bền, tốt, có khóa sập và khóa nhỏ bên ngoài để đảm bảo an toàn.
Opt for a suitcase with a striking color to make it easily recognizable. Don’t forget to attach a tag with your basic information, such as your name and phone number, in case your luggage gets lost. This way, the airline can contact you and return your suitcase.
Additionally, pack your carry-on with essential items like a spare set of clothes, personal toiletries, and snacks. This will ensure that if your checked luggage gets misplaced, you'll still have some items to use during the wait.
Choosing a brightly colored suitcase and adding a luggage tag is a great way to avoid losing it
