Annnnnnnd that's why I only backpack. Minimalism travel.
I don't check bags any more. Not worth the risk. Nearly 2 weeks in Europe and I survived with less clothes in a carryon and underseater. LOL!
Hey I think that one’s mine
It’s wild that people think these airlines actually care 😂 they’ve never cared airport customer service has always been terrible
I hate the media. STOP plugging another product for people to buy in a recession and START calling for answers from the airlines. God!
I thought we’re in a recession sounds like flights are booming and travel
And Apple wins again…
Travel light…just bring carry ons
Okay Apple advertisement
Carry on only I just got back on air Canada
They should be name the worst of the worst airlines in the world
Republicans solution is to give airlines another bailout and waste as much money as possible
It’s not LOST luggage. It’s DELAYED. Very rare to get “lost” and not ever to get it back. This isn’t new. Airlines have always struggled with logistics of moving bags when things get backlogged. Each bag needs to be managed by humans and often rerouted. It takes days when things are this jammed up.
The master plan is coming to fruition and all you sheeps are playing their game… keep traveling… keep taking your boosters… and keep getting upset… thats what they want!
they have to learn some manners and discipline from Istanbul airport staff
This comedy of errors will undoubtedly be blamed on COVID, as with so much else now. But it comes back to the people needed to handle all that baggage. Everywhere now it’s lack of staff, insufficient labor. Apple tags won’t solve the problem
How bout don't lose my bag in the first place… Catch me outside..how bout that!?
I remember meeting someone that shipped their luggage to their destination. Seems like a better idea than this at the moment
Came back from Europe on June 29th and only 1out 4 bags arrived. 2 weeks later I received 2 more bags and after 3 weeks my last bag arrived home. I probably emailed the airline about 10 times, since no one answers a phone and contacted my credit card company to contest the baggage fee.
Buy tile tracker
did not expect the ad placement for airtag
That's stupid they all have a name tag with an address give them Amazon..
Is it to hard to hire more ground worker
My bag was lost for over 6 weeks, two days after I finally received it, I got an invoice from FedEx for $328. Neither Delta or FedEx is capable of resolving. I didn't order delivery of bag and FedEx never contacted me. FedEx says I need to get the proper account number for billing from Delta. Delta says I need to download some non existent Complaint form from there website. Seems like FedEx is now extorting money from us, they know who contracted with them.
That’s not all they will struggling with as the old paradigm implodes world wide
My only concern is, isn’t the battery lithium? I know it’s small, but even a small short can cause a fire.
My bag was lost it’s probably in there somewhere. It sucks, you make it to a whole new continent with nothing 😭
Airline FAILURE to fix a problem plaguing them for years.
How much does lost luggage COSTS Passengers at their destination point.
Doesn’t portraying a Passenger HAPPILY watching her luggage sit thousands of miles away with her app from the fruit market tracker only booste sales for the Fruit market?
Nations.flying chaos
I have not been on an airplane since 1997. Stories like this is one of the many reasons why I don't fly.
its not an apple advert at all….
Went to dominicana my luggage was missing i claiming..went to a room they denied…I went again wi my insurance paper..they said ohhhhh I got you baggage……they know….careful
How incompetent is the airline industry? Maybe they can't fly any better. Have refused to fly in many years, and won't be flying indefinitely.
Easy American solution:::::let's hear it review….. Easy solution…. STOP FLYING ALL AIRLINES WILL GET THERE SHYT TOGETHER SOONER THEN LATER IF REVENUE AND STOCKS PLUMET AGAIN. I don't feel safe on airlines since they said I had to wear a mask while eating. Thanks southwest for that bogus introduction. Dr Fouci said I could lower my mask while eating….so sad it took 2 hrs to eat peanuts and drink a soda…. Anyways boycot airlines and rent cars to travel… Easy USA solution….
Them: try to pack carry-on only
Minimalists: Welcome to the club!
Mu luggage missing in #mascat_airport to #lucknow_airport

i’m british and lost our bags in gatwick airport as they never went onto the carousel, we had to leave them due to the flight delays, this was on Tuesday, it’s now sunday and we still haven’t gotten them back!!
Then airlines can offer air tag at check in.
