Isnt the current policy that they have to match the checked baggage with the passenger on the plane and if it doesnt match it comes off the flight??? Or am I wrong.
The reason I ask is that I was booked Sunday to come back from PBI, but took a voluntary bump. But my checked luggage did come back Sunday, which I thought was against policy. Thought my butt had to be on the plane for my bag to be in the hold. Is this not the case?
I took several bumps ago a few years ago, and I had no checked bags. While in line, the person in front of me also took a bump and he had a bag. The agent explained since he intended on getting on the flight, they would not get his bag off. Now if he chekced it in, then did not show up that would be another story.
