Thanks, yes I add some extra segments to get more Tier Points (BA). However, I need to do something in DC and stay for one night, I asked the check in agent to stop my luggage at DCA.

What I don't understand is that there was an over 3-hour connection time and I could see the bag (AirTag) at the transfer hub, the bag was not loaded onto my flight. The bag seems to be at GSO now, hopefully it gets to DCA in the next 6-7 hours.

Agents at DCA are helpless, I was told that there was no compensation for the inconvenience. I am BA GGL (a bit like CK) flying in Business/First, they could do a meal voucher ($12!!) redeemable at the airport. I wanted to go to my hotel and did not take it, but they didn't even have a washbag for no luggage.

I need some stuff like toiletries, underwear, etc., do AA reimburse?
