I missed my flight, the airline is being difficult, can anyone
So the airline is saying that I had enough time to catch my connecting flight, how ever my luggage is still at the airport. Wouldn't it have been transferred to the connecting flight if I had enough time?
When you didn't show up to the gate for your connecting flight, they had to remove your bag. Or if you had made it, it would have been on the next flight after you took. So did you leave the airport during your layover? That's totally your fault.
Airlines don't load luggage without the passenger.
You've missed your flight; the airline don't have to do anything further.
I'm not sure what you are expecting anyone here to do. You haven't even told us what the problem is other than you missed your flight (I'm guessing this is a connection). Are they telling you that you are stuck there or are you just pissed that they are putting you on a later flight?
The best you can do is to keep pushing the issue up to management.
Like some others have said, they might have just pulled your bag off. Even if your bag didn't make it, that has no direct relation to whether or not you could have made the flight. I've been separated from my luggage several times.
Sometimes luggage doesn't make a flight even when the passenger does. So just because your luggage didn't make the flight doesn't mean that you didn't have enough time. Additionally, the luggage may have made it but wasn't loaded because you didn't board.
The airlines know when your first flight landed; if you had been delayed and couldn't make the connection, then they definitely would have worked with you. It seems you probably made some stops along the way to your next gate and missed it - which is your fault and not theirs.
Few things that need clarification. 1.) Was your transfer with the same airline? 2.) How much time was there in between flights?
Regarding your checked baggage, there's always a chance that the baggage may not make it to the transfer aircraft on time due to logistics. (i.e. Resources allocated to other flights, staffing, conveyor issues, etc.) It doesn't happen often but it does.
There are also some airlines that will hold onto transfer baggage until the transferring passenger checks in either at the ticket counter or the gate of the transfer flight.
In which country is this happening? Which airline?
If your are not the plane your luggage would not be loaded.
- Can this bag be used as carry on? Has anyone used this bag as carry on? Can my adidasĀ® santiago v medium duffel bag be used as carry on luggage on my international flight to Haiti? Has anyone else used the bag as carry on? I feel like it ll be too long but I've never been on a flight or in an airport so I just need help. It is an American Airlines flight
- I'm travelling with a 7mo baby on a overseas flight (BA). Anyone who has done it before could you give advise over what went right and wrong? What are the packing items I need to bring with me. Taking in consideration that the airline allows a bag for the baby but with size and weigh restrictions, and bearing in mind that it is a over 12 hrs flight
- Has anyone heard of an airline paying for a passengers's hotel on a long stopover? I see a flight with a stopover of 39 hours but wonder how airlines can offer such a lengthy flight unless they're willing to provide a hotel for the passenger. Has anyone heard of an airline that offers hotels for long stopovers?
- Has anyone gotten a connected flight, far from home, but it connected to an airport near your homw? Has anyone gotten a cheap flight, thats kinda far from your home, but it connects to a airport near your home? My question is, I want to get a flight that the airport is about 3 hours away. But it's cheaper than the airport near my home., But it connects to the airport near my home, so instead of driving 3 hours I would drive 40 minutes and get on the plane there, is that able to work? Or no? Lol
