Back from a great weekend in Vienna. Of course AY (and more specifically the baggage handlers at HEL) made it less desirable.
Lost one (of two bags) on the outbound.
Returned to hotel 50 hours later.
Lost the
same bag on the homebound trip.
Connection time on the outbound was 5 hours. That should have been sufficient. On the homebound about 2 hours since the flight was delayed in order to get passengers AND LUGGAGE from Asia onboard. Yepp, their luggage made it and we who connected in HEL from Europe or Domestic flights lost our bag.
Unfortunately I have one upcoming longhaul trip with AY soon, but I'll do my best to avoid AY for a while after that.
