I checked my bag in on Tuesday morning in Dublin and expected to pick it up later that day when I arrived in JFK.
Of course there was no sign of it .. and to make matters worse Air France didn’t know where it was either.
I was in NYC for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and then I headed off to DC.
Still no bag.
The Air France online baggage tracking system didn’t have any trace of my bag either ..
In the end they managed to locate my bag on Saturday and got it to me on Sunday morning.. I was leaving DC on Monday afternoon..
So of course I had to buy clothes, toiletries etc., while I was in New York and DC.. there’s only so long you can wear one set of clothes .. and being able to shave, brush your teeth etc., is kind of key to maintaining a basic level of personal hygiene.
So now that I’m back in Ireland I’ll have to followup with Air France to see about getting reimbursed for my out of pocket expenses. I’ve no idea how much hassle is going to be involved with this .. but judging by my dealings with them over the last week or so it’s going to be quite messy.
