My husband is on a bucket list trip to Nepal. He has arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal and his luggage did not.
He was suppose to fly out of PDX to SEA on Alaska Air yesterday on a 6:45 AM flight arriving at 7:40 AM. His next flight on Singapore Air was scheduled to leave SEA at 10:45. We thought a 3 hour layover in Seattle would give him and his luggage plenty of time. Unfortunately his flight to Seattle did not take off till 8:32, an hour and 45 minutes late. There was still about an hour and 15 minutes between flights. He made his next flight on Singapore Air, Seattle to Singapore (15 hours and 45 minutes total flight time !) and his luggage did not.
He is meeting our youngest in Kathmandu to go trekking with a guide and sherpa, and has been planning this for almost a year. All his hiking gear, and some of my daughter's gear are in one of those bags. Another bag is full of stuff for a school for disabled children that my daughter has been volunteering at. They have a flight on early Sunday to a remote part of Nepal to start the trek. They are saying 2 to 3 days for the luggage to arrive.
I have been on phone for hours trying to figure this out. He has very poor cell connection. it is about 2;00 AM in Nepal. I am holding on the phone, 29 minutes now, to a the travel insurance people.
So frustrating.
