I went away for 2 weeks to Eastern Europe arriving back on 16th August. Was supposed to take our connecting flight to Manchester on 16th Aug 1.5 hrs after landing in Gatwick but as we were delayed in the terrible airport in Pristina, Kosova we did not make it in London Gatwick on time to get out Manchester flight so the lovely people at BA but us up in a very nice hotel overnight. We were almost in tears at having to stay overnight in London G as we are not very seasoned travellers but soon as we saw our hotel room and ordered room service dinner courtesy of BA we were jumping around in excitement and actually welcome of the break inbetween our flights. Bright and early the next day we trundled onto the Manchester bound flight and all was well. The flight was fantastic but when we got to Manchester our bags did not come round on the carousel. OMG. So we went to the BA desk and they said of all the terrorist troubles London airports had been having and that our bags will be with us soon. We were given a ref no. to check the bags status on the net. My travel companion recieved her suitcase on Saturday but me, now 5 days later, still has NOOOO suitcase. I only brought my keys and purse as well as travel documents as that was advised by BA as all was allowed in handluggage so in my suitcase is 2 mobile phones as well as v.expensive mp3 player, some gorgeous expensive handbags, shoes and jewellery I bought out there and I am miffed. Also priceless...a note my best friend (he lives out there) wrote on a paper serviette in a burger bar. That is in there and I wont see him for a year. Anyone elses bags missing so long only to turn up? I'm giving up all hope of a return now.
