Talk about problems in paradise.
A mother and a daughter traveled to Mexico for a vacation full of beaches and margaritas, but learned an important travel lesson in the difficult way after a lost luggage nightmare.
Arizona’s headquarters with headquarters, Jill Schiphouse, shared a first -person account for Business Insider that after demolishing in Puerto Vallarta, her mother’s revised luggage was not anywhere.
Schildhouse’s bag came out in the luggage carousel quite quickly, but his mother’s small pink bag was a show.
After they advised me to go to the customer service counter, the mother and daughter duo received a great black suitcase with the luggage labels issued by the mother’s airline clearly attached, not her luggage.
In disbelief, they opened the case only to be sure, find it full of clothes and belongings of another person.
“At that time, it was clear that something had come out very, very badly,” Schildhouse.
They were a “poorly managed articles report” when Schildhouse reached his bag and took out the stickers from the luggage label that gave him the American Airlines crew in Phoenix, and instantly realized the confusion.
“My mother’s sticker did not have her name at all. Instead, I had a completely different one with a destination that made me fall my stomach: Delhi, India,” he explained.
When they had registered their flight, “a staff member must have accidentally changed luggage labels,” and his mother’s luggage ended in the middle of the world.
With his mother’s luggage thousands of miles away and the suitcase of a stranger in his hands, Schildhouse realized that he taught him an important lesson when he was traveling.
She admitted that “it costs things” those luggage stickers in their bag “on each trip without looking”, and now realizes that travelers should always verify them before moving away from the check-in counter.
“I take more than 50 flights a year, and I had never thought once to verify that the name and destination on the royal label coincided with mine,” he admitted.
But Shieldhouse and his mother decided that they could not let the accident marry their trip.
“After the initial frustration disappeared, we realized that there was nothing to do more than make the most of the situation,” he wrote.
American Airlines promised that they would cover all expenses to replace what his mother needed on the trip, and after presenting the receipts for his shopping trip to obtain an improvised vacation wardrobe and rebuild the essential, the airline reimbursed all $ 601.08.
His mother’s suitcase arrived at his house approximately a week later, after his trip around the world to Delhi and back.
