Question: Baggage insurance on a plane?
so i’m flying home from 6 months of active duty in the continental U.S. and obviously during this time ive accumulated some belongings, one of them being a 22 inch LCD TV, i have a bag large enough to accomadate it, and i have it padded down pretty well, but im worried that it might still get broken, is baggage on an airplane automatically insured or do i have to request and pay for it myself? i really dont want to have to ship it via mail system

Breakage is not covered by insurance, only loss of the entire bag and contents. This is because they have no control over how well you packed it. This is why in the instructions in the box it came in they tell you to keep all the packaging materials. The best you can do is pack it and well trade.
