That was about ten years ago, but I still remember all that mess and confusion. I must say, the suitcase was "rewarded" with a tag again and sent on the same flight as I flew earlier, it took a long time, but to the door and for free. I was saved by the fact that I left for a few months and lived in one place, if I had traveled, I probably would never have seen the luggage.
Last year, I heard a terrible story from a friend of hers, how she was traveling in Europe, trying to catch luggage that was being sent after her, and eventually it was sent to her home, where she came from, and she had to pay for it all. ABOUT
In general, it's so strange to watch the show and see forgotten luggage in such quantities... While they're betting and thinking about what's inside and what the price might be, I'm wondering where the owners are, what happened to them, and why no one was looking for luggage... I can't believe that so many people give up on their suitcases! Okay, there are "cool" suitcases, the rich don't want to waste a lot of time searching, they'll buy everything they lost again, but the "middle class"? In general, there are two ways - the story of the owners is interesting and has anyone seen their luggage in this transfer, and at the same time, it's very exciting what they will find there and who will win more!!
Ps: they "hailed" the boy that he was young and, they say, go to college and study, but he beat off the whole trip and earned more from above :))
If the luggage is lost, you go to the baggage search point (I don't remember what it was called), they give you a piece of paper where you tick off the various signs of your suitcase (what type of wheels, handle, color, ornament, distinctive features, etc.) and then you need to specify TWO delivery addresses: the first - where did you arrive from, this is in case your luggage is found (haha) after the specified travel dates, then it will be sent to your residential address, the second address is the address where you are going, respectively, if you are traveling and you have a million stops or no plan at all and you don't even know approximately where you will be staying - specify the address of a five-star hotel. The hotel "does not have the right" to refuse luggage (according to those who have caught lost luggage in this way many times) and your luggage will be stored at the hotel on demand. Then you just come, show your documents and reunite with your valuables and socks :)
This Lifekah is ten years old, perhaps a lot has changed since then, the storage time has been tightened, and security for receiving unidentified items has been tightened... I don't know. But suddenly it still works, and suddenly someone will be "in the hand"!
