A mishandled bag is a checked bag that the airline's tracking system reveals has been misdirected to a destination different from that of your flight's end-point destination, or that has not been loaded onto the flights which the passenger has taken, as reported by the airline.

Each purchase is per person per Airline Confirmation Number. If a round trip ticket, regardless of how many stopovers, is booked under one airline confirmation number it will be covered under one purchase. If your outbound and inbound flight are booked under different airline confirmation numbers, separate service agreements will need to be purchased for each flight.

No! Blue Ribbon Bags covers every flight everywhere in the world. There are no restrictions as to origination or ending location.
