“Attention passengers arriving from Flight 329: if your bags have not arrived, please come to the customer service desk to file a claim. We understand this is stressful, but it helps to travel light, because smaller bags are easier to track. Once your form is complete, our staff will work with the delivery team to drop off your luggage at your hotel or home as soon as it is located. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and will do our best to keep you updated.”
