My luggage arrived!
Though it appears to have been hurled around by the Samsonite gorillas.
Now that I’m here in Chennai, BA staff are explaining that there was a luggage conveyor breakdown. Interesting that no one would admit to this while I was in London.
Me: Can you tell me where my luggage is?
Agent (cagily): It is being… transfered.
Me: Yes, but, what does that mean. Where is it now?
Agent (cagily++): It is in… the airport, sir. Being… transfered.
Me: Yes, but.. Will it make the flight?
Agent (now mysterious and/or typing furiously): Signs point to yes. Outlook good. You may rely on it.
I had this conversation at least four times and gave up whenever the agent went into Magic Eight Ball mode.
