3x Checked 3x Lost Baggage am I just Unlucky?
First of all I know the mantra dont check bags unless you have to. But generally on family trips we are forced to check at least a few. On my last 3 trips, AA has managed a 100% delayed bag rate!
Most recently on my YVR-DFW-STL return home. Interestingly on this trip, I had no problems checking the same bags STL-LAX(AA) LAX-HKG-BKK (CX) BKK-CNX (TG) which was where I expected problems. But on this last leg home AA managed to not get the bags onto the DFW-STL leg. They did ultimately show up the next day and were delivered.
So am I just unlucky or (aside for checking bags) doing something wrong? Is is possible that the priority tagging is actually causing delays in the connection. Pretty lame if you ask me. Thankfully I don't pay to check bags but if I did I would be livid.
