Vi’s Previous Announcement

Vi had previously announced its partnership with Blue Ribbon Bags in February 2024 to offer a limited-period complimentary lost baggage cover on select international roaming plans between February 26 and March 21, 2024. Airtel has also been offering this service as a complimentary feature on its postpaid plans for premium users for a long time.

Addressing a Major Travel Concern

Vi said for many travellers, lost or delayed baggage is one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences during a trip. Citing a 2024 SITA report, Vi said over 36 million bags were mishandled globally, underscoring the increasing concerns around baggage security. With the increasing number of international travel post-pandemic, an added layer of baggage protection offers much-needed peace of mind.

“The Baggage Protection service by Vi provides customers a safety net in the unfortunate event of lost or delayed baggage, making their travel experience worry-free,” Vi said.
