if that's your reasoning, i would applaud UA for making the quick effort to get your bag to your plane prior to departure. they could have held it for a later flight. kr -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Montano [mailto:mmontano@direct.ca] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 5:14 PM To: AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU Subject: Re: United Baggage tag issues That doesn't make much sense either. It was a regular, normal flying day except I changed my routing before even checking in. I have a luggage receipt showing the exact routing it actually took in the end... It's like the bag came off the plane in Chicago and it fell on the ground, and they found it much later, and 'rushed' it to get it on the plane. I specifically took the ORD routing to ensure my bag would have enough time to transfer... It's not so comforting to know that it nearly didn't make it.
