In a recent analysis of airports throughout the world, a Florida airport was named the worst at handling bags.
According to an analysis by Arka, a California-based supplier of bespoke shipping packaging, Miami International Airport, a major hub for travel to the Caribbean and South America, loses about 306 bags for every million flights and 5.5 bags per 1,000 passengers.
The airport in South Florida handles over 1,000 planes daily.
Other American airports that made the top ten are Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (number nine), Denver International Airport (number four), and Chicago O Hare International Airport (number two).
Where does lost luggage land?
An estimated 26 million bags are mishandled annually worldwide. Some can wind up at Unclaimed Baggage in Scottsboro if they are not claimed after ninety days.
The store has earned a reputation as a location where you never know what you’ll discover, but if you’re lucky, you’ll get it at a discount. It offers objects that have been found inside orphaned suitcases.
Unusual objects have been discovered over the years, including a shrunken head, an aluminized fire suit, an Egyptian burial mask, a unicycle, a cowboy hat signed by Gary Sinese, a jar full of shark teeth, and even a live rattlesnake.
