Default Lost you FlyRod to the airlines??

Insurance for lost luggage??

I was traveling with a lot of fishing gear assuming that my household
insurance would cover any loss. At a freinds suggestion I called my
insurance comany to check on my coverage. I was informed that if my
luggage was "stolen", I had unlimited coverage. If it was "LOST", I had
none. They will not advised me of the difference between lost and stolen,
except to hint that if I lost a bag, to file a police report. Most
insurance companies have this distinction
My company, Farmers, will not sell me a rider to cover lost luggage. some
companies will.
Some credit cards will give you up to $3000 coverage for lost luggage if you
purchase your tickets on their cards. American Express has a card that will
give you $2000 on carried luggage and $1000 on checked luggage. Fleet Bank
will give you $3000 on checked luggage, but excludes many items like
sporting goods. CitiBanki has a few cards that give $3000 on checked
luggage but the cards are hard to identify. One is the the higher grade
ATT&T cards administered by CitiBank. Another is the CitiYou cards that
have recently been discontinued.
If you travel a lot with a lot of gear, it may pay you to do some research.
