Good grief… how do you think it could have occurred that 3 of our bags made it, but the two assigned to MrGB did not, with one just sat there on ‘the collosal integrated baggage facility’ and the other went to LYS for some reason!? I’d just assumed it was all automated and the barcodes did their magic.

Is there any experience on this in as much as will there be some system in there that will work out that the bag doesn’t belong there and will just automatically send it on the next flight? Or is this manual and someone’s going to have to go and physically look for it? Along with the thousands of other people’s bags. BA are clearly unaware as I didn’t get the bags as they have not proactively advised me the bags didn’t make the flight (or that someone somewhere randomly decided to send one of my bags for a trip to France). I suppose I just like to know how this stuff works so that I can understand better when in communication with BA.
