Ever wondered what happens to your luggage upon check in?
Have you ever wondered what happens to your luggage after you check it in? Let's go behind the scenes with GoPro to find out! (www.youtube.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Fifty years of flying the world as a pax and I have had delayed luggage 3 times. Twice for a couple of hours. Once for TWO DAYS, which was ski gear and American Airlines bought me $750 worth of replacement equipment. TSA has inspected my bags many times, but nothing ever pilfered. Armchair critics make me nauseous.
This little baggage problem cost United 108 million dollars US. After Dave posted this on YouTube, UA stock went down 10%. For that, they could have bought 50,000 Taylor Guitars for this gentleman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo
Have you ever wondered, ya, it gets lost, and goes to the big bag land in the sky, or is eaten for lunch by the bag transit system, or maybe that big ape is still around. lol
Maybe here at KSMF?

I flew back into RUH the day after that big sandstorm hit the Middle East last month. Somehow, my one small checked bag from IAD was left behind by Saudia. Fortunately, I had flown UA from MCO to IAD, and they were able to track it for me. They got it onto a Lufthansa flight to Germany, then to RUH.
When I went to pick it up, I was first taken into an underground parking garage by mistake. There were three dump trucks loaded with bags waiting to be unloaded in one of the parking areas in the garage. I went into that area, and there must have been easily 5,000 bags already in there with more to come from the other terminals. All from all over the Middle East.
Boy, was I lucky.

Spindle, fold, and mutilate. Oh, and pilfer.
Not here in the states. In some airports, passenger waiting areas permit a view of aircraft at gates while being loaded....Lets just say some interesting "stuff" happens to our luggage.
