Yeah, I went through that ordeal in 2005, when my bags arrived 3 days later and I'd had 5 presentations by then! Only $50.00 approved for emergency spending! It's a shame! I thank God that I didn't cancel any engagements, and was able to borrow a couple outfits to help the emergency! - Talk about surprises in life

Good thing I had my soundtracks, Bible and other most important items in my carry-on bag, but still lost things that are valuable for different reasons.

Songbird, I've been reading this thread and am frustrated by what you've gone through here. Of course, some things are more personally valuable than others, but it's still unconscionable for the airlines to screw up like this.

I really, really hope your luggage returns home soon

Meredith, thanks!
This is indeed frustrating, thou I am waiting, trying not to get anxious over this.
At last I got a form to fill and give them info of my belongings. But the lady had the nerve of saying : "You need to send me receipts of your items."

Uhuh, Yeah, like I was expecting to have my luggage dissapear and have a receipt for each and every item!!!! So, am I supposed to buy everything new before I travel so that I may have receipts if anything like this happens?

Have you visited the airport since you arrived home? This may sound ridiculous, but perhaps your luggage is sitting in a pile right outside the office and on one has looked for it. Do you think that's a possibility?

That's crappy. Who saves receipts for everything they buy? We'd all be swimming in paper.

We used 2 reciepts when my daughter lost hers. We got back 1200 dollars. You don't really need them, I don't think.

It's to the airlines advantage to find your bags....

We had a situation where someone had mistakenly picked up someone else's bag - figured it out - and instead of bringing it back to the airport - left it on a city bus. Argh.

Your bag isn't at the airport - it is somewhere in between. At this point - the airline has looked high and low for it.

Over a month and I still have no idea what happened. I have not received any more info from this airline. Calls, emails, nothing seems to work.
