Moderator Shinichi Hatori said, “I was a little surprised” when he started talking about the All Japan Figure Skating Championships held on December 22nd. Hatori said, “Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, the first Japanese couple to win the Grand Prix Final, will miss the All Japan Championships. It means that the luggage containing the costume etc. was in the lost luggage, the so-called ‘bagge loss’ .” The reason is “Missing Baggage”.
Is the lack of staff in airlines an effect?
The Rikuryu couple were traveling to Japan from Vancouver, Canada, but couldn’t make it to the opening ceremony due to snow-related flight delays. Even so, Kihara reported on SNS from Vancouver that she was on her way to the game on time. The two arrived in Japan on December 22 and entered the venue, but lost the match. This is because the shoes and clothes did not arrive due to the loss of checked baggage.
In fact, it’s rumored that special care should be taken with lost luggage this winter.
According to Kazue Matsuo, a former international flight attendant, “Airlines are cutting staff due to the coronavirus pandemic and there is a shortage of workers, making it easy for mistakes to happen.” The precautions Mr. Matsuo points out are to keep a sturdy name tag in an easily visible place and remove the tag from the previous flight. Also, it’s important to take a picture of your baggage so it’s easy to explain when you’re losing money. It’s also a good idea to put a smart tag in your luggage. However, you should carry valuables, necessities and quick-use items on board in case your luggage is lost.
Violinist Sumire Hirotsuru, who has many opportunities to use airplanes for overseas performances, said, “I remove the sticker immediately. If the barcode remains, I don’t know where it will be read by the machine. I immediately remove the barcode and I’m wearing a name tag.”
When Hatori replied, “There are people who don’t remove stickers just because they’re cool, right?” I was wearing it, but my friend told me, “If you don’t remove it, it’s really dangerous,” so I try to remove it.”
Kazushige Nagashima, a sports commentator, said: ‘I also remove the sticker as soon as I arrive. Human errors and mechanical errors occur, so I remove the barcode immediately. the check-in counter. Even when I check in, the staff will weigh it and put a sticker on it before I leave it.”
When asked by Hatori, “What do you do with your violin?”, Hirotsuru replied, “I will definitely take my violin with me. On international flights, if the airline is strict, I will buy a seat and put it on the seat There’s a Violin Fee Some cellists call themselves “Miss Cello” and take seats for the cello.
Hatori said, “I think many people will be flying during the New Year and New Years holidays. There is a possibility that errors may occur more easily due to the sudden recovery in demand for flights, so please be more careful than usually to lost baggage. If you have a sticker on it, remove it immediately.”
