What a faff!
1:42 pm on the 23rd of August, 2006So, I went to Budapest with the caving club. Our bags didn’t though. It was an incredible mess and still is.
Of the 10 bags we checked in at Glasgow not a single one turned up on the same plane as us, and then of course everything went to pieces at Heathrow. Eventually 5 bags turned up in Romania and we were able to collect them from our guides’ office and the trip didn’t entirely turn into nothing as it might have, a caving expedition with no caving equipment whatsoever ceases to be a caving expedition very quickly. At the end of the 10 days though we of course we had our return flight.
For the flights BUD-LHR and LHR-GLA we decided that it would be easier to check all of the baggage that we did have as it was crammed full with clothes we bought with BA’s money and might not have been allowed as hand luggage with the tighter restrictions, that’s 9 bags in all. Of those 9 bags guess how many made it to Glasgow, bearing in mind we hade more than adequate time inbetween the two flights.

Lower. None of the bags made it out with us to Budapest and none of our other ones made it back. They turned up in a trickle last week though so no long term harm done apart form the cut/ripped strap on my (Dad’s) rucsac which hopefully BA will pay for.
