So people visiting their kids in Israel would often bring one suitcase filled with frozen raw meat. El Al security in Chicago knew that they didn't have to check the suitcases with frost on the outside. You have seventy pounds of frozen meat, it will stay frozen for the twenty or so hours between packing and unpacking. Ah, but that's assuming it arrives when you arrive. Anyway, by the time we got it, it was barely fit for the dumpster cats.</p>Baila commented on 'The lost luggage saga'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0134863fa269970c2010-08-16T20:53:47Z2010-08-16T20:53:47ZBailahttp://illcallbaila.blogspot.comI have a friend who doesn't mind lost luggage.

Your story reminded me of when She Who Must Be Obeyed took a mini-vacation in San Francisco (we were living here in Atlanta at the time) and our one suitcase ended up missing. The Delta rep was a bit sheepish when she called to inform me that our bag had been found. "Where is it?" I asked. "Frankfurt," the rep responded, with no little embarrassment.</p>
<p>Since we needed something to wear pending delivery of our bag, I insisted on compensation, and we got $150 so we could buy some clothing. Now, here it is over twenty-five years later, and they still give you the same measly $150!</p>

<p>This happened to me at LAX.</p>
<p>About 11pm, I was directed to walk out to my commuter hop on the tarmac. Outside I found two identical turboprops. Struggling with the noise, I asked the parking director (the guy with the flashlight wands) which plane was mine. He waved me to the nearer plane. </p>
<p>I ended up in Oxnard instead of Santa Maria.</p>
<p>Nice ending, though. The pretty woman in the seat next to mine drove me home. </p>David S commented on 'The lost luggage saga'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f31731ac970b2010-08-15T23:32:53Z2010-08-15T23:32:53ZDavid Stwo years ago, the four of us flew Delta from Fort Lauderdale to NY, but I was coming straight from...<p>two years ago, the four of us flew Delta from Fort Lauderdale to NY, but I was coming straight from work, so my suitcase was checked in separately. I had with me the largest (and heaviest but not overweight) suitcase and lo and behold, the suitcase did not make it to JFK. the "nice" thing about Delta is that they have a page where you can check the status of your lost luggage so the next morning we knew the suitcase was found and was going to be delivered to us before Shabbat. And indeed they did in a van with another 10 suitcases that suffered the same fate. <br />
Since that day we made a rule for all long trips, to distribute the clothing for each of us evenly around all the suitcases, just in case. </p>Andy Levy-Stevenson commented on 'The lost luggage saga'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef0133f315811c970b2010-08-15T15:23:59Z2010-08-15T15:23:59ZAndy Levy-StevensonPerhaps your luggage could offer you a guided tour of Vienna?<p>Perhaps your luggage could offer you a guided tour of Vienna?</p>
