KLM Delayed Baggage Suggestions
Asking the KLM experts here for a family member...
Flew today (4 September) FLR-AMS-JFK
In FLR, all baggage on the flight for all pax was offloaded due to a weight issue supposedly due to winds (pilot announcement). FAs said they had never experienced such a thing and it seems odd to me (and to my family members who are extremely experienced flyers).
Bags were not loaded on either of the two remaining FLR-AMS flights (i.e., still sitting in FLR per KLM and airtags).
Lost baggage report filed at JFK.
Family members were on paid J tickets (if that matters).
So, with an entire flight worth of bags sitting in FLR, a location with, apparently, limited payload capacity on each flight, it seems that it might take a long time to get those bags out of FLR. On top of that, they would have to be rebooked to JFK (and then delivered 100+ miles away to my family members). This all seems like daunting odds.
So, to the KLM experts here: any suggestions to increase the odds of the bags making it to their final destination?
