This could really be expensive for tourists especially in a foreign land because they need to incur costs for buying clothing, toiletries, any regular medications and other essentials until the baggage reaches in their hands. Clothing can be very expensive in case the individual has been on an overseas trip for business purposes.

In addition, some of the policies offer very minimal coverage for baggage delays which may be inadequate if you are traveling to an expensive destination.
