Air India Loses Trade Minister’s Baggage
In order to attend the G-20 meeting in Australia, India's Trade minister took an Air India flight. Upon landing in Sydney, the minister could not find her checked luggage. It had been mistakenly offloaded in Melbourne. 11 hours later, Air India was able to reunite the minister with her luggage.

Delightful possibility, but factually challenged (not consistent with the linked article claimed to be the source of the information).

Apologies, you're right. I read the article quickly and missed the "could have" which began that sentence in the article.

considering the fact that this was a free flight for her, i'm sure they will compensate her with a few more free flights....

They might even throw in a generous upgrade or few... at their own mercy, of course
