Why is that airlines are so inconsistent? When they are good, they are great, but when things go wrong, they are almighty awful!

Travelling to Ireland for this visit, I joined the club of past travellers who have ended up staring dejectedly at a baggage delivery belt with nothing on it, as it continues to go round and round...

These are the sad souls who know in their hearts that what they are hoping for is not going to happen, but while there is apparent life, there is still hope. And who is that cruel torturer who looks down from his control post, sees the lone traveller waiting patiently and has the gleeful job of deciding how soon to switch off the delivery belt's grumbling circuit, and thus announce that the poor person is condemned to survive an indefinite time without clean underwear, toothpaste, change of clothes and the reading matter that would have helped to while away the time that would usually be occupied doing make up, treating hair and getting changed?? All things now impossible to contemplate

Yes, they managed to send my suitcase to Drumnadrochit, I think it was
Perhaps "Cheapyjet" has a pact with the Loch Ness authorities to try to drag unsuspecting passengers to the north of Scotland from wherever they actually want to be, in search of missing bags? Nobody has ever actually found the missing monster in Loch Ness so it seems an appropriate scheme, doesn't it?

I think they want you to buy another ticket to fly there right away (with various hidden extra charges of course); because apparently they don't have a contract which even offers same day delivery once the bag has been located! So, let's get this right... I fly to Ireland and my suitcase doesn't. The airline at some point in the future will discover where my case has gone. They will look at it for a day or two (presumably until some local taxi firm makes a low enough offer for the cost of taking my case to me). At this point I have moved on to somewhere else. My case is therefore lost all over again!

I know that trendy thinking is that our borders are open to all dispossessed souls who wish to come to our country, but why do they treat my baggage differently? Isn't this an infringement of my baggage rights? Or perhaps I should say, of my baggage's rights?

Consider my position, ladies... I arrived. I had no clothes other than ones I travelled in. No makeup. No toothpaste. No rabbits. No chains, handcuffs, blindfolds. No feather boas and nothing from Agent Provocateur. And I do have friends waiting to meet up with me, so I need to get myself sorted out. How will I put this into the insurance claim form?

Oh and for those who are concerned about these things, my baggage enjoyed a journey from London to my destination in Ireland that lasted a full 58 hours... I only hope it enjoyed the in-flight service and took some great photographs!
