Airtran Airways - THIEF!!
Camera - Complaint
Review by ramirez12w29 on 2013-02-14

ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- I flew from Midway to Orlando airport and my camera was stolen. I fly this airline all the time but due to this I wont be flying Airtran no longer. It's a shame they charge you to check your bags but cannot cover electronics!!! It"s a charged checked bag. They need to assure all the items will be safe. It is only handled thru the hands of their employees...This is sad, they have flyer insurance when purchasing the tickets...Why not cover all items...Never again!!!

It's a good rule of thumb to always carry expensive items like cameras with you. No airline will cover it if they are lost or stolen, and nearly all airlines charge for checked luggage these days.

I'm sorry that you lost your camera, but in my experience and opinion, checking a bag with valuables in an unwise practice. I am not surprised by their policy, based on reading comments about lost and stolen luggage across all airlines.

First of all, TSA has their hands all over your luggage, so there is no way you can lay the blame on the airline.
Secondly, they TELL you not to pack electronics, jewelry and prescriptions on checked baggage. This is the major reason why. You can bet that when I travel, my camera and electronics are under the seat in front of me.

It's sad or funny the government took over many of these luggage functions for the sake of security yet your valuables in your checked-in bags has a better chance of ending up on Pawn Stars than your final destination. And the really sad part of it is people just accept it as if this is the way it should be and then blame the victim for the theft of their property. That's just nuts.
Holly smokes our government figured out how to go 16 trillion dollars in debt with nothing really to show for it you'd think they'd figure out how to get my iPad from OKC to YYZ without a fat fingered TSA hoodlum regifting it to his goon significant other.
GET MAD!
