Hi Josh, glad you got your bag back. My girlfriend and myself had 2 large suitcases lost for over a week. My flight originated at my homeland Northern Ireland visiting family. I flew to Boston via Manchester England and then to my current residence in Indianapolis, Indiana. After about 30 phone calls we found the luggage was late getting transferred in Manchester and sat in Boston for a week. The joys of travel. Be safe 😊

Flynas are notorious for losing bags and luggage items, once on my grandmother's flight... The airline lost around 10 wheelchairs of passengers, including my grandmother's. Which is completely absurd, and all they got was "sorry we lost your wheelchair, you need to buy a new one"

I once had this really wonderful experience with an Indigo ground staff at Kempegowda Airpot, Bangalore. I was a student and my baggage had 1 kg extra than what was supposed to be. According to the airline rules, 15 kg is the maximum and I was carrying 17. I tried to lose a lot of things but couldn't get it below 16 inspite lot of efforts. I was supposed to pay extra 3000(rs) for the extra baggage which was like 50% of the ticket price itself. I was about to do it, when the ground staff guy excused me saying "be careful next time". I still remember his name and will never forget him. I won't disclose his name here as I fear it might be a threat to his job. It was not much, but that gesture really touched my heart. Hope that angel does well in his life 🙏❤️.

In my experience this issue arises when ground staff are not actually employed by the airline. More often than not check in counters are manned by third parties such as dNata etc. The problem is that these agents have no allegiance or empathy for the airline and one check in is the same as the next regardless of the carrier. Often they are not well trained and may not be aware of upgrade policies & etc. Not ideal but the way the airline industry is going these days. Another way to save a few more dollars I guess!

First Red Flag - whenever a person at the ticket counter keeps talking over the top of you and isn't interested in the questions but only their statements then be very careful what happens next. I've personally experienced this multiple times and overpaid for tickets / baggage and particularly carry on bags. Later I found out that I did in fact overpay and trying to get any refund is a complete nightmare 😒

Josh, as a former ramper, I feel your pain for your lost bag. I will say that sometimes time can be as much of a problem when there's too much as there is when there's too little. When it's done right, your bag comes off one airplane and directly onto the next. But when you have the plane it's supposed to go on not there yet or a long time between connections, they try to send it through the normal sorting process again, and that's where the problem hits. Now you have a bag that has to go through the whole process it already did when you originally dropped it again. This is where it's most likely to go sideways, and unfortunately, I suspect that's exactly what happened.

People make mistakes, it’s nothing new, it happens for different reasons. Scum, I wouldn’t say that even for Ryanair that might charge you extra money at the check in counter only for not checking in online 24 hrs before the flight, imagine!!! But I don’t call it scum, it’s because they send emails to inform about that, yeah it’s somehow considered scum because not everybody has time to read emails and it should be mentioned during the booking but still.

So lucky that this is the first time you have had your baggage "lost". We once flew Condor Air from SEA to FRA - direct flight, no transfers! - and they left our baggage behind despite the fact that we were the FIRST people to check in three hours in advance. And we were heading to a cruise on Cunard's Queen Victoria in Rome, so we had to have our bags ASAP with all of our formal wear. Condor kept telling us that they had NO idea where our bags were! Meanwhile, we found an Port agent at SeaTac who went and found them easily - they had been left behind with a load of luggage from a transfering Alaska Air flight that had arrived late and Condor had decided not to load it! Meanwhile, even after the port authority agent had taken pictures of our bags and told us EXACTLY WHERE THEY WERE in the airport, it took my well-connected brother calling the VP of Condor in North America to finally get them to move on it. And even then, it took them FIVE days to get us the bags becaue they did not want to pay to ship them on another airline and Condor only flew two times a week from SEA. By the time the bags reached Europe, we were already in Rome, and COndor tried to make us go to the airport to get them rather than deliver them to our B&B. Finally, after some threats of serious legal action from my brother, they got us our bags ONE HOUR before we boarded the train to Civitavecchia, the cruise port. Talk about a stressful five days! But, we got several tailor-made suits from Rome out of it for which COndor eventually paid! 🤣 But yeah, I will definitely be getting some air tags going forward...

I absolutely love your videos Josh, I watch all of them. However, based on the entirety of your experience I am not sure if I can justify the "scam" title of the video. Maybe more of a miscommunication perhaps? The "scam" title holds a lot of weight and cancels out the good things like the wonderful flight attendant, decent food, etc. This is just my opinion. If you disagree, comment below 😊

Hard disagree. That guy (& seemingly, much of the check in staff) knew what he was doing, screw them, nasty people get to wear unflattering labels. He (& anyone complicit in the scam) should lose their jobs & ideally, be fined for theft/fraud. I detest when people use their power to hurt others.

i think Josh mentioned that he was told that nobody was booked in the business class on the first flight. Could be, that person on the ground didn’t really upgrade him, just took the money (and gave him a voucher or stamp on his boarding card to enter the lounge). In general, i agree that title is a bit misleading. Though, if somebody tricks/scams you while checkin in, that gives all operation a bad name

Had a similar issue with a middle eastern airline. They advertised their flights as 2 bags per person. But upon check in the guy randomly said that’s not the case and that I either have to combine both bags and pay a weight fee, or pay an extra bag fee. Extremely scummy.

It’s very weird, I never had such a checkin experience with flynas on domestic flights, it looks like the Kuwait staff are just lost lol. However there are definitely a few problems with flynas regarding timeliness. My brother flew a few times with them this summer and every flight was delayed by a lot which can be extremely frustrating. At least the crew made up for it I hope!

They weren't lost; they were scammers! They were going to give him an exit row seat and charge him $180, and pocket the money themselves! Meanwhile, biz class had lots of empty seats. Dishonest. Despicable. I hope corporate sees this and those two scoundrels get fired.

@@peters7229 yes absolutely I’m not saying it wasn’t a scam. Corporate should definitely open an investigation. I was just saying that I’ve never experienced something like this with flynas neither has anyone I know, so I’m shocked that this happened. Hopefully this doesn’t go unsolved.

@@peters7229 paying cash for an upgrade, is it even possible? I believe only miles and credit card are accepted. Otherwise, if cash is used, there has to be a purchase receipt given to the customer as a proof of the payment. I doubt the airline would leave the payment transactions handled freely without evidence, then in case of agent errors, who can they trust? So, that’s why I believe the airport staff in this video were just confused and tricked by the system, something happens suddenly that made the whole situation dramatic. It wasn’t scam, I mean we’re talking about airline’s staff and not some random people calling on phone trying to steal your data.

FYI, as a check in agent, if you have an onward flight certain systems which airline use for check in actually doesn't allow you to upgrade for the onward and even if the system does allow us to upgrade all the way through depending on the airline the upgrade on most part is done on the first leg only due to operational reasons. Don't know if it makes any sense.
