The luggage eventually arrived then: late in the evening when I was out to dinner and far too late to use in my training sessions. I was a scruff for the two days then!
I thought you'd like to know that the case was sopping wet when I got to it and there was water damage to:
- my suit ... it stinks now
- my spare jeans
- six shirts, casual and formal
- black formal socks
- white sports socks
Since it hasn't rained anywhere near Bangkok airport over the last few days I wonder where it got so wet?
They also made a real mess of my Emirates Skywards Rewards luggage label: covered it with some hideous to remove sticky paper,
I called them at BKK and they offered me GBP35 since I pointed out that they hadn't offered me any money to pay for my replacement shaving tackle, toothbrush and paste, deodorant and so on ... they wanted me to go to the airport and collect it. I told them I want to collect it when I leave the country ... GBP35 isn't enough either as I have had to have all of those items properly laundered.
As a very frequent flyer you must appreciate that I tolerate a lot of hassle from a variety of arilines. Losing three sets of luggage since August is too much too:
- one case went for two months
- one case got to me after a week and just two hours before I left for the airport to go home
- this final case could well have been a farewell case except that I am staying on in Thailand for a few days extra
