I'll update when I get a reply.

Update

Received a nice e-mail from Customer Affairs this afternoon apologising for the delayed delivery but unfortunately no report was made at GLA by the Ground Staff. I wasn't the only person affected so that is slightly surprising.

They are also going to credit my Skywards account with 20,000 miles so that is a nice gesture even though I was quite happy for them to acknowledge the slip in service and the apology.

I've only been flying EK for the past year now and so far quite happy with the service.

Safe & Happy Travels

20,000 miles is worth 200-300 GBP if you play your cards right

They will probably go to my next upgrade to F

What are the markers for gratis miles? For BA I have a rough idea what one would expect as a service recovery gesture. What about EK or is it a case of whoever deals with the complaint?

Getting anything at all from EK is pretty good. They're not as loose with their miles as some other airlines (or hotel programs, like SPG). I think that adds value to the gesture though

Re-reading the reply I got, it focused mainly on the GLA end which was not where the problem was initially caused.

Replied to the e-mail and reiterated to them that my baggage, along with other F class pax had been put in an economy container in DXB which was the root of the problem.

I received a further reply and they will pass on to the relevant team.

I've had them misplace my luggage on SYD-CHC. Checked in and dropped luggage about 2 1/2 hrs before flight.

"misplaced" = "delayed", right ?
?!? no compensation of any sort ?

That seems a bit harsh. Is it EK in DXB that deal with complaints or is it down to regional centres? Would it be dealt with by dependant on your country of residence/Skywards membership address? My complaint was replied to from 'Customer Affairs UK' but the two people replying had Italian sounding names.

If this is the case, then if you had your complaint dealt with by a different region, just shows the difference in how they may handle things.
