I received the claim and see it in the delivery notes. However I wondered if anyone would actually proactively read it or only once it arrives. Similar to PNR notes
Anyways my bag didn't make it in the GRB flight
Maybe I should have asked him to pickup the phone and call the ord baggage office
Yes, they do read the notes, or figure out which airport is the closest... eventually. Misconnected bags are often processed overnight.
I had a bag where it was misconnected and was intended for EWR. Whoever saw the Connecticut delivery address put it on 2 more flights - EWR-IAD-BDL, and have BDL agent to arrange the delivery.
