Why is it that the only operator I've had baggage problems with is Lufthansa, and that about 20% of the time? Is it actually their fault or do they use a 3rd party handler?
Over Easter I flew to Frankfurt from Birmingham, I had about 40 mins to get my bag and get on a pre-booked specified rail connection to meet my family in Karlsruhe. Only the bags for the flight were taking forever - 50 mins - to appear on the carousel. Eventually I asked someone and it turned out that NONE of the bags had been loaded for those pax disembarking at FRX ie with no transfer flight to take. After all the hassle of queueing again at the Missing Baggage desk etc my bag was eventually delivered after 11pm that night, 2 hours' driving after the penultimate victim's dropoff. How can these idiots be making any money when they have to operate like this?
And as I started out by saying, this sort of thing seems to happen every several of flights, though is normally far less inconvenient.
