Thread: Learned something new

So how close to getting on the flight were you ?
Were there any N/Rs that got on the flight ?
This should not have happened. All baggage of a
N/R standbys is supposed to be boarded IF the N/R
gets on the flight - otherwise returned to the
claim area for pick-up or carried forward to the
next standby flight.
If there was a good chance of your getting on the
flight the gate agent may have jumped the gun
and cleared all the baggage but then as you well
know you did not get on the flight due to some
last minute musical seat clearing problem and
your baggage danced away without you.
Dilema - Tell Delta to return the baggage back
to where you are -OR- hold for your questionable
arrival sometime in the future.
But you have to tell Delta what you want done !
And so much for the one way conversation with
Siri about your baggage being available for your
pickup at the destination you did not get to !
