Kansai Airport has never lost a baggage in the 30 years since it opened

Kansai Airport just flexed its spotless baggage record: three decades and not a single bag permanently gone. It even snagged its eighth “World’s Best Airport for Baggage Delivery” title from the World Airport Awards. Fans swooned over Japan-level tidiness—yes, handlers literally align suitcase handles to face you like a hotel turndown service. But the comment section turned this victory lap into a spicy runway. One user says the headline is “technically true” but sneaky, noting bags have gone missing temporarily—just not forever. Another asks the obvious: if a bag is missing for hours, does the brag really land?

Then came the jokesters. One traveler publicly vowed to “break the streak,” volunteering as the chaos agent who’ll finally stump the system. Others pointed out Kansai’s secret sauce isn’t magic—it's an airport-on-an-island, single-terminal setup that dodges the multi-terminal baggage abyss most hubs suffer from. There’s also a wholesome subplot: one commenter shared a wild Kansai immigration story that went from “uh-oh” to “here’s your student visa in 45 minutes,” fueling the myth of hyper-competent Japanese airports. Still, a cloud looms: with staff shortages and the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo incoming, the crowd wonders if this spotless record can survive the surge. Place your bets, baggage-watchers—drama is boarding now
