Re: Bags

Your bags would have been removed from the flight. When passengers "no show" their bags are removed. Airlines are not permitted to carry bags without the passengers.

The only way they can do this is send them as cargo on a later flight. These bags called "rush" bags go through far more stringent security checks than standard baggage.

The rush bag system is primarily used when bags don't make it to a flight, so they are sent on the next one. Your bags would have been removed at Palma and are probably still sat there. The handling agents in Palma would probably be expecting you to collect them (as far as they are concerned you didn't fly, they don't know you flew to Manchester). The agents won't know to send them on. However it is Thomson's job to help you recover these, they should contact their handling agents in Palma and get them to send the bags on a Glasgow flight.

Hope this helps

thanks for that.
i wish i could get through to thomsons to get it sorted.
will try after 9.30 it was that time i managed last night.
going to see if i can contact the baggage handlers in palma.
hoping the lovely lady at glasgow airport might have an idea how.


thanks again to everyone.
