The concerned traveler says at SEA Airport baggage claim, a badged man offered their family assistance and then 'demanded a $50 fee for his service.'

A concerned traveler posted to Reddit worried about a potential "luggage scam" at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The poster claims at baggage claim, a badged man offered their family assistance and then "demanded a $50 fee for his service."They went on to write: "We told him we thought it's free or else we would have done it ourselves. I asked if we can talk to the manager.

"We do follow up with the airline and can actually track when and where the subject was and what happened if they can pass along that kind of detail. Of course, the airlines do not want that kind of thing happening, so they track the folks they sponsor and want to respond if they get reports."If you want to schedule baggage assistance, you can do so on the airport's website. It’s similar to the process of securing a wheelchair and should be coordinated through your airline.
