Long story, short: I'm on "vacation" for two weeks. I traveled from the US (via JetBlue) to the Middle East (via Emirates), taking 3 different planes. I only had one suitcase, and I checked it in. Throughout my entire trip, the airlines had multiple delays, flight changes, gate changes, cancellations, etc. Once I got to my final destination, my luggage wasn't on the belt and I had to file a form for missing luggage with Emirates. Two and a half days later, my luggage still isn't here. I already filled out a inventory form. I'm just pissed because I packed so minimaly, that I needed everything in my suitcase and now I've been having to buy a bunch of stuff to keep me grounded until my luggage comes, which I don't even know if it's ever going to come. I haven't even gone out anywhere because I don't have any clothes, hair products, jewelry, I have nothing.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do? A similar experience? Anything helpful? I'm also curious if the airline would provide reimbursement since I can't do anything without clothes.
