Airline lost bag-bow included
« on: September 30, 2011, 02:13:00 PM »
I just got back from a hunt in Colorado.  At the airport terminal in Pittsburgh, I got one of two bags checked and wouldn't you know, my takedown was inside the bag that didn't arrive.  I filed a report immediately and followed up with a claim.  I saw the bag being being loaded in Durango and was told by the airline it had reached Denver but it never made it to Pittsburgh.  Any advice?

Had it happen many times.....it will most likely show up in a few days. Just be happy it did not happen on the outbound flight!

Yeah, I'd say you got lucky that they lost it on the way home and not the other way around.  I've always got my bags back without any damage when the airline "loses" them.

I am so sorry that you are being put through this anguish.

I hope that it shows up and very soon.

I know I would be going nuts having to wait.

God bless,Mudd

Yeah, that part does suck.  Will they reimburse you with money if they don't return your bag?

This is why I DROVE from Maine to Florida a few weeks back to hunt, instead of flying. NO WAY will I risk one of my recurves being, lost, stolen or banged around.
Good luck, I hope you get everything back in A-1 condition.

I had the same thing happen with my back pack a few weeks ago coming back from Colorado. Flew out of Durango on Frontier airlines to Denver and US Airways after that. My pack was delivered 2 days later to my door step no worse for the wear. Keep the faith and patience.

Had a similar problem at Pitt a few weeks ago...
A few items "missing" out of my bag... They suggested that maybe I forgot to pack them..

Is it possible to take a 3pc takedown as part of your carry on luggage. I never fly anywhere, so I'm just asking?

Sorry Dave, don't believe that would be allowed. On the front end of hunts(flights), I would suggest mailing prior to departure. Better to be safe than sorry. Underwear, socks, etc. can be replaced in most areas, bows and arrows not so easily.

Good news! I got my bag back today.  Got a call from the airline yesterday that it had arrived in Durango and was awaiting my pickup(It was supposed to go to Pittsburgh).  Anyway, a big thank you to A.S for help in trying to locate my stuff.  Thanks, Allen, hope I can return the favor someday.
