IMHO this thread has more unconnected themes, plots and sub-plots than "War and Peace" (ie flyers getting comp BF upgrades between LAX and HNL, posters "DEMANDING" their/others rights, etc etc). Lost baggage is never fun, but on the HNL-GUM flight passengers are often restricted to one carry-on. Your choice. Call the nice folks at WE CARE. Yesterday I did and a $300 CO travel voucher is (hopefully) on its way for a CO screw-up.
