Imagine..
You, walking with high spirit towards the baggage belt after a grueling 10 hours flight back from Johannesburg. Six long days away from home, away from your comfy bed and your beloved throne a.k.a. toilet bowl!
As you wait for your luggage, you greet goodbye and thanks to those that spent those six days with. After waiting at the belt for almost 20 minutes, you realised that you are the only one left at the baggage belt and there isnt anymore luggage rolling out from it!
Oh yeah, HELL BROKE LOOSE IN ME!!
*red represent uncontrollable anger*
My luggage is MISSING!!
*sob sob sob*
Apparently UNLUCKY me luggage was left behind by the cargo handlers back in Johannesburg, alongside with another 6 more passenger's belongings.
Me is not happy at all
%$#&*@!
Me had to dragged myself all the way to Lost & Found to complete the procedure below
1. Wait in queue
2. Complete a form
3. Wait in queue
4. Verify information
5. Wait in queue
6. Get documents
I dont like waiting after a bad day
*black clouds looms & a bolt of lightning strikes*
After 2 days of waiting, finally I got a call (ring ring) that my luggage is back in Singapore!
There is two ways to get the luggage back
1. They send to your home
2. Personally pick it up
Missy me isnt always at home thus I had no choice but to get my butt to the airport to collect my luggage personally. Again, the procedure went like this
1. Wait at information counter
2. SATS officer sends information to Airport Police
3. Walk downstairs to wait in queue at the Airport Police station
4. Get a verification document & pass
5. Walk upstairs to enter Lost & Found in Arrival Hall
6. Hands passport over to Airport Police
7. Walk super far to Lost & Found department
8. Finally collected my long lost luggage
9. Walk super far to exit Arrival Hall
10. Collect passport from Airport Police
11. Hitch a taxi to go home
Me seriously think that luggage should be handled well as lost luggage means alot of trouble and hassle to those who had their luggage misplaced.
By the way, if you do go to Johannesburg, there is a chance that your luggage may be misplaced as misplaced luggage incidents happens on a daily basis!
Bless ya if ya travel to Johannesburg!
