HappyChappy Posted June 9, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Landed at 2pm yesterday and were called to the BA baggage room while we stood in immigration. So we went and were told that we just made it onto the plane at LHR but our bags didnt. Given a ref number to check up on and adv bags will be delivered to our Hotel as soon as they arrive in NY. Hello BA that was 15 hours ago!!! Where are our bags!!! If they are not here by the time we are ready to head out then the credit card will get hammered at BA's expense. Full details of this and my thoughts will be in my holiday blog which I will start a bit later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darcy15 Posted June 9, 2013 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Oh, I'm so sorry - that would be my worst nightmare :eek: There is hope as BA fly to NY regularly - so the bags should have been on the next flight out. Good luck with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsMot Posted June 9, 2013 #4 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So happy for you. I can not imagine having to start a cruise vacation without my luggage/clothes. Have a great vacation! Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted June 9, 2013 #5 Share Posted June 9, 2013 pays to come late to the party. i remember a family whose luggage didn't make it onto one of our ncl cruises. ncl opened the gift shop to them, and they went to town. they said they hated it when their luggage showed up on day three. great day out there for a sailing! bon voyage!

misguidedangel Posted June 9, 2013 #8 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Most excellent news the luggage showed up. If I was to go on a European cruise I would get there at least three full days before the cruise. The odds of luggage being lost when you most need it is amplified, so if you're there early enough and had one of each packed in a carry on you can get by for couple of days. I would have a difficult time of I didn't have any luggage for a cruise and had to pick up a few items in the gift shop. I'm a wee fluffy, so nothing would fit me....... The upcoming cruise I am trusting the airline. I'll be in New Orleans for three full days before the cruise, so no worries *BG*....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI66774 Posted June 9, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I went on an eleven day guided tour of Budapest, Vienna, Prague, etc. several years ago. One of the other guest's bags did not show for the entire tour. She hadn't brought any carry on, so it was quite difficult for her. I always pack one carry on full of clothes, medicine, etc. just in case my checked baggage is lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
