LatinaInTexas Posted May 25, 2023 #426 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I don't know how you have managed to handle all these events and take it all in stride, bravo! All I can think of is if it was me my poor, poor husband. Because no matter what everything would have somehow, someway all been his fault lol. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare natefish95 Posted May 26, 2023 #435 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Oh geez, traveling is so stressful these days. This reminds me of when Delta cancelled two of my flights, I got stuck in Detroit, had to book a last minute flight on American, that plane hit a bird, etc etc. Hope you're reunited with your bags soon! Those first drinks on the ship will feel so much better when you can finally relax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packing that bag with the purchased stuff and checking it. Since you have already "done" your trip it doesn't matter if it shows up late at home. The shop on the ship has soft sided bag that folds up. One of our first cruises between shopping and alcohol I needed something for clothes. Bring it every time now and will use as carry on if I need room in my suitcase. Have checked it too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think about it frequently ~30 years later. I'm sure a plane can handle hitting a bird 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A flock of birds caused that US Airways plane to land in the hudson river years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island2Dweller Posted May 26, 2023 #442 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Manage your expectations on when you will be reunited with your bags. BA have failed to invest in IT for years and their systems have crashed yet again. Now that the systems are back up, they are concentrating on getting today's schedule running. Dealing with left behind bags is a low priority (to BA, I know it isn't low priority to you). When they lost my bags a couple of years ago, it was six weeks before the bags were returned to me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #443 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Morning CC fam - what a long, strange journey it’s been…. Waking up slowly here in Gava Mar…. Gathering all my documentation from BA (at least wanting that 75 GBP bag fee refunded, come on, that’s casino money!), trying to clear the cobwebs. It’s 10:40a here in Spain, AirTags show bags still at Heathrow as of five minutes ago- but maybe they’ve moved towards a plane? We were promised bags delivered this morning, but he took the names of both hotels and the ship. That’s my other concern, we move hotels today. Can I assume BA is gonna keep THAT straight when they’ve been unable to do anything else right?? 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #444 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Looks like my mobile key is for room 120. We’re in 125. Maybe I should go check in on my neighbors, see if their bidet is working 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted May 26, 2023 Author #445 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Logged into the BA lost luggage tracking site using the info given to us at the desk last night. The only hotel info put in at all was the Gava Mar, which we are about to leave. It also says they haven’t located our bags. I updated it manually to the new hotel where we’ll be the next two days. Also, I enjoy that my baggage tags say “NORTH TAXES”…. That’s me, huge fan of taxation 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
