Hold onto your hats, folks! In a twist straight out of a movie, a Swiss International Air Lines plane took off from Zurich, packed with eager travelers, but here’s the kicker: not a single suitcase made the journey! That’s right, every single checked bag was left behind, chilling in Zurich, while passengers jetted off to Bilbao. Why, you ask? A shortage of ground staff!
After a bit of a wait, the airline decided to just wing it (pun intended) and take off without the baggage. Their reason? They wanted to beat the clock and get back to Zurich before a night-time flight ban. Talk about cutting it close!
But wait, there’s more! The airline scrambled to make things right. Most of the bags had a mini-vacation in Zurich and then joined their owners in Bilbao the next day. The rest? They took the scenic route and arrived on Monday. A SWISS spokesperson, probably sweating bullets, said they “deeply understand the frustration and anger of the passengers.” You think?
And if you ever find yourself in a luggage-less situation, Japan Airlines has got your back! They’ve launched a service where you can rent clothes and get them delivered straight to your hotel. Perfect for when your bags decide to take a detour!
