Alaska Airlines - List of Theftable Items

I thought I would add a link to Alaska Airlines' Baggage Policy. Please note it contains a list of items that the airline is not accountable for should they disappear from your baggage. In other words, a list of items that are okay for their baggage handlers to steal from you. Go to section H-3-g.

Alaska Airlines Baggage Policy

To compare, here are the baggage policies of:

American Airlines
Southwest Airlines
United Airlines

In digging around these sites, one of them also provided a link to locks that ARE allowed on your luggage and are TSA approved. Check them out.

To be fair, Northwestern had a similarly long list of items that it was not responsible for. A couple of the airlines mentioned above appear to offer roughly $3000 worth of coverage per paying ticket holder, however. Another good reason not to trust your business with Alaska Airlines if they aren't going to man up and protect your stuff better than they do.
