I'm sorry, @ConsMW, for your rubbish experience on @British_Airways. Posting EU rights as reminder for fellow travelers. Mine fell within the window if you don't count my original flight cancellation, but not if you factor in time wasted waiting for bag. evz.de/en/travelling-motor-vβ¦
Still no updates from @British_Airways and no customer assistance or ETA on a checked bag that's now been missing for 3 days. Bets on whether or when I'll see it again? Will it arrive before I depart this weekend on another BA flight? Regretting my choice of airline.
At the moment we can only advise you to check online for any updates on your bag. Please make sure your contact details and delivery address are up to date too. JulieR
