I tried contacting the airport, but that is hopeless. The one time out of about 12 that someone bothered to pick up the phone they gave me a number somewhere in the French province where the HQ of Regional Airlines is, because it was a Regional operated flight. Talk about clueless.
Still no response from AF. Contacted the club line, who also directed me to lost and found, assuring me that all mails were being replied to.

I know! I never do that, precisely for that reason. But i left it on the neighboring seat buried under some newspapers and then didn't follow the other standard procedure, which is not to look around for things left behind but to check whether eveything that is supposed to be in the bag really is in the bag. Always the same things anyway, so Easy to check. Bring on those Air France tablets with the daily press and no more printed newspaper can bury my things
