Where does lost luggage go?
I recently flew from the united states to Johannesburg, but when I arrived in jo-burg, my luggage was not there. That was 5 weeks ago. Apparently Air France has stopped looking for the bag and will just reimburse me the money. The only problem is that I had well over 1700 euros of stuff in there, but their reimburse limit is only 1000 euros. Plus, a lot of the stuff I had is not possible to replace in the middle of africa (I'm in Botswana right now and will be for another few months)
I'm wondering one thing where the hell is my bag? Is there a ware house somewhere where they slowly go through each lost bag? What are the odds of me receiving my bag ever again? I've had my bags delayed before, but never outright lost. is this a common thing?
