Tip number 1.
Always pack a carry-on with at least three days worth of clothes, because you will thank yourself when the airline tells you they don’t know where your bags are. Luckily for me, the lady at the airline 'lost and found' desk, told me that my bags are “still in transit” rather than “missing.” It makes me believe that she is more hopeful that they will find my bags, even though I didn’t have the bag claim tickets with me. (When I arrived in New York, my connection to Berlin had just closed its gates. When the delta lady re routed me to London, she exchanged my old tickets for new tickets, and my baggage claim stickers were stuck on the back of my old tickets.)
The lady in London seemed pretty off-put when I told her I didn’t actually have my baggage claim stickers…she seemed like there was no hope and I would never see my bags again. The Berlin lady was much more cheerful and made me believe I would have my bags in a few days. I like the Berlin lady better.
