springtxbill Posted January 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Great news. I finally got my bag back that went missing on my way to my Empress cruise on 20 Dec. It went from Atlanta to San Juan a day late by Delta and then forwarded to St Maarten where it sat until last Saturday at the American luggage area and I got a call based on the info from one of my luggage tags It was then misdirected to IAD (Dulles) instead of IAH (Houston) and took until 9:30 last night to get to the house. It had a longer vacation than I did and should get a free flight with all the miles it has traveled. Delta baggage was of very little help as I had to keep track of it whenever I found it got misdirected and push Delta to go the next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutphl Posted January 14, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Glad to hear you got your bag back. Did they offer any compensation?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted January 14, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2005 They say it will be about 2 weeks before I hear anything on the expenses I had because it was missing. When the first couple of ports that you have to try to find clothes in are St. Barths and St. Maarten, things are not cheap.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Island Lady Posted January 14, 2005 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2005 It's a miracle that nothing was missing? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springtxbill Posted January 14, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Plain black rolling duffle bag with no locks is not tempting to look into. Besides a pair of Western boots there was basically only shorts, t-shirts socks, etc. Not that great shopping. I had first thought it had been someone's Christmas shopping in San Juan, but once it had been first forwarded to St. Maarten, I knew it existed and it would show up some time in the future.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted January 14, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm glad your bag found its way home. :) It would be nice to collect the frequent flyer miles it collected on its jouney home :D Keep us posted on your compensation. *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
