Well, I was pretty tired last night so didn't put much thought into packing... I distinctly remember that missus' keys were in the checked in luggage, but I didn't check where my own set were. So luckily I left them in the hand carry! What happens if someone leaves their keys in their suitcase?
I've never missed luggage before...is it likely to turn up? The baggage chap said that it happens all the time and I'll most likely get it tomorrow but it's hardly reassuring! I'm trying to stay calm although the missus is furious (likely because all her loot is in the suitcases).
And will my travel insurance give anything? There's no excess.
