Promised was 6 Hrs - No Way - Tracking the Delayed Bag ID - Hopeless this only tells you what you already know. tracking by Bag Tag ID on the normal bag tracking works. Until you try to call to confirm any details - ON HOLD, call back when you have an AUSSIE +61 prefix - doesn't work in the call back system.
So my bag is off-loaded in SFO 2 Hrs ago and no way can I get through the telephone system to find out where it is - I guess I'll just shut up and WAIT. So much for checking in Toronto - AA Reps told me exactly what I wanted to HEAR!
So the answer to all this - FLY DELTA, or UNITED, or anybody else!
You're absolutely right, Delta, United and other airlines never lose bags. I don't understand why AA purposefully loses passengers bags. Must be the rush they get from it.
