Altitude adjustment: the aviation thread

Wife and I are going on a vacation in March. Thank god we changed it to something within driving distance.

He misunderstood. Theyā€™re going to unplug it and plug it back in.

Planes hitting each other on the ground now, too

Trumpā€™s America sucks

Really stupid question but do planes have insurance? Like if I had something worth $20K in my luggage and itā€™s destroyed because another plane hit my plane, is it covered by insurance?

Plenty of time for DOGE to mandate all Teslas drive themselves or something, keep your head on a swivel.

Aviation insurance exists.

Do you have to request it? Iā€™ve flown plenty of times and Iā€™ve never heard of it.

Magic 8-Ball says ā€œLOL.ā€. Iā€™m sure this is covered in the Conditions of Carriage.

I assume it would be covered under your homeownerā€™s insurance if you couldnā€™t get any money directly out of the airlinesā€¦unless your homeowners policy has an exclusion related to travel/shipping.

But anyone traveling with something expensive and fragile should be smart enough to insure that they have some type of coverage.

The Montreal Convention (and itā€™s predecessor the Warsaw Convention) mandate what air carriers owe for injury, death, and lost or damaged baggage. Aircraft owners buy aviation insurance.

This should terrify everyone. Why is everyone not terrified?

maybe itā€™s just me but Iā€™m really not interested in needing insurance in case my plane crashes.

There is a standard amount per piece of baggage that you can get out of them if you pursue it to the fullest extent. Iā€™m sure itā€™s far less than 20K. Can you get insurance for more than that? Iā€™m not sure.

I drive because Iā€™m afraid of flying anyway. donā€™t bother me (this is a tongue in cheek joke for the dense out there). dying in a plane crash is usually pretty instant and youā€™d have a hell of a last few minutes or seconds.

Few more crashes and maybe Iā€™ll catch an empty middle seat once in a blue.
