| 721051 | 2008-11-18 02:26:00 | So I am going to auckland in about two weeks time As I have a small size PC it fits neatly inside a luggage case however I am afraid even if I wrap it well the people may literally throw my luggage into the luggage area of the plane. If it does get broken will airnz compensate? Do they have fragile stickers or is there something that can actually let them know to handle the luggage with care? |

I would NEVER EVER put sensitive electronic equipment in stowed luggage. I always carry my small laptop (Fujitsu with a 10.6 inch screen) in cabin luggage. I have had bags fall off the trolleys being towed out to aircraft whilst the trolley was belting along, I have seen other people's bags fall off, I have had my bag soaked in rain. I have had my bag lost too many times to remember; twice involving the baggage handlers at Auckland. And those are only the things I have seen. It is worth it for peace of mind to go through the hassle of carrying it, and taking your lappie out and putting it through the xray machine etc. I can't even begin to think why you would do it any other way!!! |

| 721054 | 2008-11-18 03:04:00 | Oh dear, so sorry :o I misread your post - somehow thought you were talking about a laptop... Duh! On the basis of my experience with airport baggage handlers over the past decade, I would courier it, if the courier would take responsibility for it. AirNZ certainly won't. |
