This furious flier had her luggage looted — and she or he’s determined to search out out whodunit.
Leoni Crowther says $2500 price of designer goodies were stolen from inside her suitcase sometime between check-in and arrival on a recent trip with easyJet.
The British traveler, 21, was flying from Isle of Man to Belfast with a layover at Manchester Airport, along with her checked bag weighing 42 kilos when she left the primary airport.
When she finally arrived in Manchester, Crowther’s suitcase got here through the conveyor belt but was significantly lighter.
“It looked absolutely nice,” Crowther told Have to Know. “It was all zipped up but once I picked it up, it was really light.”
The faculty student was stunned when she unzipped the bag to search out it only contained a pair of workout leggings, a lunchbox, a sports bra and a laptop charger.
A staggering $2500 of things had disappeared from contained in the case, including $700 price of makeup, a $180 handbag, a $300 Vivienne Westwood jumper, three pairs of $120 trainers, a $60 Victoria’s Secret robe, three pairs of $75 jeans, and priceless sentimental gifts given to her from her grandmother.
“I opened it up and my heart sank,” she shared. “I assumed it should be a joke. It’s so weird. I didn’t understand it. The suitcase had almost every little thing I own in it including some gifts from my nan.”
The easyJet help desk told her to contact the Manchester Airport for the reason that plane she flew on to Belfast had already been inspected and no luggage was left behind.
Crowther also reported the situation to the police.
“They said they checked the hold and there was nothing there so whatever happened will need to have happened at Manchester Airport,” she explained.
“Everyone said they’d never heard of anything like this before.”
Crowther said she needed to delay school work so as to cope with the situation and has needed to borrow clothes from her friend.
“I don’t have any way of replacing the items because I’m a third-year student,” she said. “I just need to know what happened.”
She added that it’s hard to get involved with anyone who could properly help her because “there’s no option for somebody who has their suitcase however the contents are missing.”
Luckily, she happened to get travel insurance for this trip — which she often never does — and hopes that her claim will probably be accepted.
An easyJet spokesperson responded to the experience, saying, “We were sorry to learn of Ms. Crowther’s experience. We take all allegations of this nature very seriously and at the moment are investigating this with our luggage handlers. We work closely with all of our airport partners to make sure our passengers’ bags are handled securely.”
