You're missing the very real possibility that your luggage will be lost, and there are limits to the value of any one item that the airline will pay.
Very true, and I've heard horror stories about it, but in all my years of flying I've never lost my luggage and not have it eventually find me. So I live on the edge. If I was travelling with an expensive ukulele I might reconsider. I did lose my luggage on a trip to Disney World with the kids back in 1986, and it was sitting on my front doorstep when I got back to Iowa five days later. But that's the worst one. We had to buy a whole new wardrobe for everyone at Disney. We still look at the pictures every time we get together with family and we still laugh about it. I think it was the highlights of the trip. At least the most memorable event.
