Help They Have Lost My Baggage

Have you thought about contacting a television station to get some publicity? I think that sometimes when you are blatantly ignored that is about the ONLY thing that catches someone's attention. I am not even sure if an attorney would get as quick of a response as a television station. Call now and get this resolved...your bags are somewhere and you will NEVER get what is fair to replace what you lost. Good luck!

P.S. - Delta's nickname is Delivering Everyone's Luggage To Atlanta for a reason!

This is such a shame. I would call them every day. They used to advertise a dumping place where lost luggage stuff was sold in Alabama. My ex is a pilot but we always got our stuff delivered at our door within a few days.

We also lived in Alaska and I got on the wrong aircraft instead of going to Seattle ended up in Minnesota. So I understand lot of military up there and confusing terminal. Two planes where boarding at the same time and they took me out of line an rushed me to that aircraft. Guess they really did not look at my ticket well. It was not until we were landing I realized I was at the wrong place. I spent the night in the airport locked in as I spent my last money on his kids at the airport. I had no money for a cab or phone call. A nice airline attendant drove me to another airport to catch another flight. Gave me a hug and sent me on my way.

Years ago we were selling Amway which today I think is the best business around. But we had a starter kit we were taking to some place. They took out a spray can of something and would not allow us to take on and said it would be there when we came back never saw it again. Think someone just wanted it. My ex knew the FAA rules and at that time was a safe product not like now you can not take anything. I have not flown since all the 9-11 started but some of these people should not have those jobs. I would hound them. It has to be some place. There has to be some place just that airline stores lost luggage. G. W

All you can do is keeping harassing them. American can take a long time to exhaust their search before they will issue a refund. Even then it's usually only a couple hundred dollars. You can take them to small claims court for breech of contract, and if you have receipts from lost clothing then you can get more. Most of us don't have the receipts.

Unfortunately, all you can do is wait and hope they find it. I know that I had a suitcase it took them 3 weeks to find, but I finally got it back. Good luck.

Word to the wise- always put your contact information inside the bag as well as on the luggage tag. Include a contact number that you can be reached at once you get to your destination.

HOPE YOUR ITEMS COME HOME SOON!

I would write letters, call and go out to the airport to their lost and found and check once a week. I would find out where they have stuff that has no tag/identification.

You could contact an attorney to find out what your rights are as a consumer. You could try and get the numbers for the other airports and do some calling yourself. I know this has to be frustrating. I've gone thru this once myself, however did finally get our suitcases back.

You might even want to call D/FW Airport in general in case another airline has the bag or someone else picked it up and returned it to the airport.

I would wait a couple of weeks and if you don't hear anything ask for a refund of what you think is a fair deal for your belongings and hassle/frustration too.

I'm sorry you are going thru this. Maybe you can get the newspaper article by going to the library and looking on microfiche or going to the newspaper itself, hopefully you can get that article back. Scrapbooks, I know are priceless with the pictures, time you put into it also. I hope you get your things back.
