Hopefully the bag shows up on the next flight and there's no need for much more than socks/underwear/etc.
Except with Air Canada. Sad to say, earlier this year on a TPAC, 10 of us were waiting at the carousel for 30 minutes until someone came out and posted a sign with our names to contact baggage department.. No concierge service for me, despite Gold status with AC and paid J; and certainly no assistance form the airline with any offer of a daily stipend. AC has two ongoing operational deficiencies : Baggage and IROPs response. IMO It's incompetent IT department cannot support a solution.
