Next time you have a DAMAGED bag, there is no need to post here. We will all just reply with CO's policy, then you will get angry, end up doing what people said you had to do (e.g. go to the airport, have your bag inspected, and make sure it is covered by then), get your bag fixed, and yet again accuse us of "CO Lovefest". Just save yourself the trouble now that you know the steps you need to take, and take your bag straight to the airport.

Please update us if you are able to have your fuel, tolls and parking refunded. That would be helpful information. :-:

Glad to see you did not have to resort to duct tape.
