@pluralistic Sinking feeling: watching your suitcase get successfully loaded onto the flight you just missed. (Happened to me. Before 9/11. Not sure it does anymore.)

@pluralistic Agreed! 😁

@pluralistic Bon Voyage!

@pluralistic You see videos sometimes of those baggage handlers throwing luggage about without a care. Looks like these baggage handlers at least have a calmer approach to it. Here's hoping they are the shining example of a gold standard in their profession to which all others should hold themselves.

@pluralistic Watching before take-off as our bikes were *unloaded* from the plane was not wonderful. The bikes were sent where we were not going.
Oh—yes—the airline tried saying it was our fault. Then did not help at all.

@pluralistic second chance on arrival 🤗
