Unfortunately for me being a "flying engineer" means I have to check-in bags as there is no way I would be allowed to take them as carry on.

On multi segment trips I dread the lost or delayed bag as it means I cannot work.

This week I did an AMS-LHR-PVG and was very relieved when the 2 bags arrived amongst the first few on the baggage belt at PVG.

Waiting for bags when you are a constant traveller is very time consuming and frustrating.

As C-W-S shows the time does add up considerably.
