I agree it is a problem but safety do come first, by bag also traveled the world and when i got it back my Biltong had gone off already
some airlines take there time to get your lost bag to you. The best part of it all is I knew the checking agent labeled my transit bag to first destination only and corrected him on it still, he got it wrong,
Well next time i'll make sure my snacks stay with me. That was a loss of note
