Losing Bags
Bags are ment to be lost and both SLF and the industry should be prepared to minimize the consequences. When I travel I always carry on a backpack or on a carry on extra clothe for a day and my shaving gear and any other stuff that I may need fast upon arriving at the destination.
If it comes to the worst I can make it for a day before I run into difficulties. Additionnaly I am aware about the first night allowance offered and I use it whenever I can.
Even more within a year I have lost my bagage twice (once every piece I use when I travel) and I feel I meet the statistical requierements for not loosing a hold bag again.
Anyway the most ridicilous case of lost bag was in the summer of 94 in BRU where the baggage arrived with the incoming flight but the handlers did not bother to put it on the conveyor belt.
