Flight was uneventful and I slept for the most part. When we landed I headed of to the Wing and checked for my cash....to my horror it had gone!

I can only assume I was robbed whilst I slept

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do you think I would have had any recourse?
I'm sorry, but I just have to ask. Why on earth are you carrying that much cash? There are ATMs in Hong Kong.
