Speaking of travel (my most recent post): Do you have any tales of lost luggage you’d care to share with us?
I just read a story on another blog about an angry Yale student who’s threatening an airline with a $1 million lawsuit for losing the Xbox 360 which he sent through in his checked luggage. (The author of the blog post wondered, as did I, why the guy chose to check an Xbox or other electronics device rather than take it carry-on. Duh.) Wow. A million bucks for an Xbox and emotional distress — that seems perhaps a tiny bit over the edge to me, but, hey, I don’t even own an Xbox.
I remember a flight my wife and I took some years ago where our luggage took a day to catch up with us. We went through some serious “emotional distress,” as the bags contained most of our everyday wardrobe(s). Heck, everything arrived the next day and the airline delivered it to our in-laws where we were staying and everything was fine. I suppose if they hadn’t found and delivered the goods we could’ve thought about a lawsuit, but probably not.
I’ve heard travel horror stories about lost luggage. Got any unusual tales like that you’d care to share with us in a comment? Go ahead.
