She had to cancel some business and turn up to other meetings in the clothes she wore out of Sydney Summer. Luggage turned as she was about to leave on London flight bound for Vancouver.Flight delays and a squalid overnight hotel stay with starvation level food voucher, followed with indifference and discourtesy from BA staff regardless of Biz class tickets. On delayed arrival in Vancouver, no luggage again!!! Her on-flight to a Rockies ski resort meant she had to depend on Vancouver to find her luggage. It turned up 9 days later, the night before she was due to return to Vancouver. In the meantime all she had to wear was what she wore or could borrow, because the ski resort did not carry much stock of clothes or substitutes for her packed requirements. It was a Au$ 24,000 disaster. Please do not publish this as a blog without consent of my client, as it may prejudice negotiations with BA. There is a line of authority in Australia based on the common law concept of "fundamental breach" of contract, which says that there are certain fundamentals in contract which can't be disclaimed by exemption clauses. The fundamentals are "transfer me and my luggage safely from A to B". Perhaps the US lawyers are looking at that. Trouble is getting around the international conventions (Warsaw, Montreal) which acknowledge liability for damage but circumscribe the payout. Can you put me in touch with Simon C so I can enquire whether he knows the name of the US Attorneys who are planning to commence a class action to which my client might be interested in participating?

Mine was lost on a trip from Rome to Vancouver on September 22, 2009, and to-date January 30, 2010, still no sign of it and no refund or compensation, from British Airways, for all my best clothes and gifts purchased in Rome. Has anyone out there had better luck with B.A.? If your luggage was lost for a few days but then delivered you should consider yourselves very lucky.
