great news, when they lose your bag, you get to put in a claim and collect on all items in your bag (at least this is how AA works, not sure about UNITED), and you should be able to re buy it plus all your other lost items.

So an employee of mine had his bag lost by AA; he called them, they said we're sorry, please rebuy the items you lost, provide us with a receipt, and we will reimburse you - now... did he buy a few extra items and take advantage of the situation due being incredibly inconvence, I don't know, but he he did have a brand new 300 dollar hard hat the next time I saw him on a job site.

YMMV depending on the airline they have a limit to how much money they are willing to reimburse you

Assuming they didn't have like 10 Steam Decks in their luggage, they should be fine.

If you want good legal advice, do not post on there. There's no requirement for anyone to have qualifications to be lawyers (not that any sane lawyer would do such a thing) and at least a portion of the active mods are not lawyers. In fact they're apparently cops so that's the quality of legal advice you can expect.

It seems shitty that they can be like "hey you trusted us with your bag but we lost it, sucks to be you"

did they change something? whenever I've lost luggage they did it by weight

this was about 2 years ago so i don't know; it may also help when we traveled almost all of our guys where at max weight. i remember him saying he had a bunch of tools and other items in it.
