No checked bags on flight
Was on AS482 (PDX-SFO) and then connecting there to LAX this afternoon. Went to drop my bag off and was told that “there was no access to bags”. Was a bit confused as I couldn’t figure out why I would need access to my checked bag, but the friendly agent at the counter explained that the flight was only carry-on baggage. I’ve never heard of this and neither he agent. We both thought maybe there’s not enough baggage handlers at SFO today or something like that. Anyone ever heard of this? In the end it didn’t have any impact on my flight as AS rerouted me via SEA getting in 20 mins earlier than I would have via SFO, but it was still a bizarre thing to hear about the no baggage flight. Anyone know what may have happened?
