ARGHHHH. FARRRK. PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY ENORMOUS PROBLEM TO DO WITH GLASGOW AIRPORT.

[Heathcliffscathy]

I am in the outer hebrides. we arrived on friday. all except my bag arrived. my bag contains not only ALL my stuff (clothes, make up, shoes EVERYTHING) BUT more importantly ALL ds's stuff (waterproofs, boots, and most most awful, his teddies without which he has trouble sleeping).

BA are being absolutely useless. have spent whole weekend phoning, finally got a human being who was a human being yesterday who tried her very best to find out what has happened to my luggage. apparently it left london city airport for glasgow as it should have (city airport very small and so they know if they have luggage and they don't have mine). but the bag has not been forwarded from glasgow to benbecula (all our other bags were).

so we surmise that my bag is sitting in glasgow airport. there have been 3 flights to benbecula since and none of them have had my bag on it.

the luggage handlers at glasgow airport for BA are Alliance. They do not answer their phone. Even (apparently) to BA. Certainly not to me (it sounds as if they pick up and then put down the receiver immediately, but maybe i'm paranoid).

they will not answer BA's telex's asking them to forward the bag or even say whether or not it is there.

we have until saturday here. It would transform my holiday to get the bag. I phone everyone several times every day. to no avail.

if any of you know a baggage handler at glasgow, or frankly, anyone that is physically at glasgow airport, and could walk round and ask them for my bag, please cat me and i'll give you the ref (or actually i'll give you the ref on here, because i am desperate).

if anyone knows anyone that works for Alliance dispatches who might have a phone number where a human being picks up the phone, would you let me know a number?

if anyone knows a BA bigwig (or anyone in BA who might be able to help me get my bag) please help.

this is such a downer on our holiday and i'm so bloody frustrated that my bag is probably sitting in glasgow airport with no one putting it on a flight to benbecula.

there are two flights tomorrow. if by the power of mumsnet my bag is on one i will be so overjoyed.

any vibes most appreciated too.

I've just read whole thread and the information that is missing is that my bag was at glasgow all along and wasn't forwarded because someone was on holiday.

WHAT THE FARK?????

If it wasn't for midnight express actually physically going to the airport, i probably wouldn't ahve got it until the day before going home if then.

really disgraceful i think.

Sophable..

Have a glass of wine..you are scaring me..

The nice Sophable that is.....

I'm wearing my comfy combats, flipflops and a grey vneck tshirt actcherly cod. makes a change from my jeans which are practically standing on their own and stinky fleece.

I do feel like singing though

I'm having a G&T actcherly.

but thanks bree

grin] and lol!

so there really are eope who consider having "the same jeans on for 4 days now" to be something a bit odd then. and blimey, I didn't have you down as a curmudgeon, soph.

no knickers senora.

the girls briefs i bought up here were too small and dug in. so i ditched them.

righty. hadn't thought of the pants angle.

thanks for sharing though.

piss off

I was really touched by this thread. Until I got to the pants bit. Eek.

Ditto Edam

Sophable - how can you not have got the essence of mumsnet before now?

This site does live up to the "pay it forward" ethos though. Tis true.

Fab result.

Well done Midnightexpress!!

slightly tmi about the pants though, lol.

lol at like to teach the world to sing.
Have a lovely rest of your holiday Soph
Well done midnightexpress.

Oh my. I cannot read a thread like this in a postnatal, hormonal state that I is in nad not laugh, I luurve mumsne.
Soph, I hope you are stinky no longer.
I know the chorus
I''d like to teach the world to sing and furnish it with love, grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turkle doves

Mumsnetters are great, aren't they? Brill thread.

Though I have major envy about beaches and lobster having spent the last three days in a tent in the rain.

Ooh yes, I would love to be in a tent right now.
(Shagging obv)
So sorry to lower the tone
