Ok then, lastest figures for one airline over here are that 99% of hold baggage arives with the passenger. All have suffered some damage its the nature of the beast I'm afraid.
The last few times I have flown my luggage has been going round on the corousel before me.
Never in 30 years of airline travel have I had my luggage opened or anything gone missing.
But I have been delayed by a passenger breaking an overhead locker whist trying to fit his families over sized bags in, delayed for 45 minutes. Have seen half way through loading a flight the cabin staff having to stop people bringing anything bigger than a laptop bag due to too much hand luggage.
Have also seen cabin crew putting passengers luggage in the lockers at the back of a single aisle aircraft, this really helps with the unloading!
Rant over, can I have my medication now!!!!
