The stuff you take in your suitcase when you travel has “emotional value”? What do you take with you when you travel?

Since our case is quite unusual, if I travel somewhere like a typical person and carry a weeks worth of clothes, that’s five- seven pairs of pants, 5-7 shirts, some underwear and some socks and maybe a change of shoes.

When I traveled for work, I also had some gym clothes.

That’s around $1500 - $2000 of clothes max. I fly mostly Delta and occasionally AA. Delta is not going to quibble about $2K for lost luggage. They claim less around .66% of luggage is lost or delayed.

This is how often the average person flies in a year.

The chance of the average person experiencing luggage being lost or delayed is slim.
