JetBlue Lost My Bag - Yeah

It was bound to happen, I know. I didn’t expect it and it definitely couldn’t have happened at a worst time, but it’s what I have.

Yesterday, I jetted to the airport early to try and make an earlier flight home - I’m increasingly tired of the red-eye but it’s practical in lots of ways. In this instance, I was avoiding landing at 5am so I went early to get on the 3:20pm flight - landing at 11:45pm.

I was on standby but there was no issue getting on the flight thanks to a very friendly guy at the counter.

I waited at Carousel 1, then 3, then 1 looking for my bag. I had two bags with me. The first contained all my clothes, toiletries, shoes, etc. The second was loaded up with audio gear from the Beercasting days. Guess which one I need? Guess which one is missing?

Yup. I’m heading out at 9AM tomorrow for Toronto to provide some podcasting for a show. Naturally, all my audio equipment has evolved and is stored nicely in my apartment (the stuff I had is older, slightly broken, and inferior). When I didn’t see my other bag, I secretly wished that I could have it instead of the one I now possessed. No luck.

The helpful lady at the Lost Baggage Desk gave me a $30 voucher and told me that it is most likely on the next flight and will be there in the morning. Sounds fishy if you ask me. How did one bag come through and not the other? Exactly.

If they find it, they’ll send it to me today. If they don’t, well, let’s not go there.
