Although I'm not justifying their behavior, this is clearly the result of a combination of understaffing, low pay, and long hours. That woman probably had a very long day, most likely with no breaks as well, is probably the only person or one of very few people in her department scheduled that hour or day and most likely had to deal with tons of angry customers prior. In which she unfortunately decided to take her frustrations out on Garnt. Note: I used to work at UPS so that's probably why I might come off as empathic towards the staff. Again, I'm not justifying their behavior, just giving an explanation of why they might act this way.

Pro advice: you pack a blank firing or airsoft pistol with your expensive cameras and lenses. It gets a "firearm" tag, gets handled by the system as if it were a real-steel piece, and no sticky finger handler would ever touch the pelicase with a 10foot pole because lost firearms warrant a completely different level of investigation than a random suitcase...

$50,000 worth of camera equipment is nothing to sneeze at and the fact that the airline has been actively ignoring them on social media is a sign that no one in their right mind should use that airline if they value their belongings and don't want to be hung out to dry. This especially applies if you have already gone through the proper channels and filed a lost/stolen baggage form and still have neither received your baggage or heard from an airline representative.

They need to call out this airline more I think. People need to know how unsafe this airline is.

I've started sticking with Birmingham Airport now because Heathrow never seems worth it. There's always plane delays or your plane sits on the strip for forever. The last 2 planes I got on there both had bag loading issues and one wasn't even fuelled so we had to wait for that to be done. We were then told that they did it wrong and we had to sit through it again. With Bham the biggest delay I had was 10 mins n that was just for boarding n we still arrived early so if you don't mind the extra travel I fully recommend BHX.

I don't wanna be that guy to escalate things, but seeing how many people are affected by "lost" luggage and non-existing customer service by the airline... I think by now the whole world would benefit if more notable people would escalate the issue. At least please don't give up, this isn't legal and so many people with no voices and no means are being fucked over.

I don't think there is a good short-term solution bc it's a staffing issue. It's like working at a restaurant where you're falling behind on orders and ppl keep calling asking about orders. But if you keep answering the phone to talk to them it just means the orders fall even more behind as ppl are stuck on phones instead of dealing with the issue.

Just to let you know. if you didn't know already. I would keep up on it. TSA makes every effort to reunite passengers with items left behind at the airport checkpoint. Lost and found items retained by TSA for a minimum of thirty (30) days, and if not claimed, are either destroyed, turned over to a state agency for surplus property, or sold by TSA as excess property.

Now I just want to put a tracker on every suitcase I bring with me just to see where it goes when it goes missing.

The airlines have been particularly struggling the last couple of years. Hopefully, they get their shit sorted soon.

Would recommend having GPS trackers inside your luggage cases now because you never know with airlines or baggage handlers. I used to work maintenance for tugs and other vehicles that are on the tarmac and I can guarantee that the people that handle your bags really dont give a fuck about your bags. They're all the same to them, luggage that needs to be thrown either onto a plane or off a plane. What they receive is whats going on, so if they don't get your bag in carts, its not going onto the plane unless told otherwise by another employee.

Garnt's experience totally reminds me of my experience with my local post office. The level of apathy and general incompetence I've experienced over the years with the workers there is staggering. Truly mind-boggling.

I am so sorry! That sucks SO hard. Did you get what you needed? There are a lot of us here that work in the media or Hollywood - I would totally try to get you guys equipment.

Holy shit, I've never been abroad before. Hope you guys get some justice. And thanks for sharing your expirience with us.

This is weeks after that happened, did they get equipment back? Hope they insured that bag.

I thought the guys were just unlucky but apparently it’s a system wide problem for that specific plane/airline/flight. Luckily some people had trackers on their luggage and they found out that their luggage is still at the airport probably lost among the other delayed luggage.

This is a class-action Lawsuit in the making

I once remember hearing a guy say that they would include a flare gun with their equipment. Airlines treat it like a firearm, so the bag is carefully tracked, but it's legal to take places since it isn't like a real gun or whatever. I think they didn't even include flares.

1) Decided to travel just as the world reopened which was going to cause a mass rush of people 2) Traveled during the summer, which even before the pandemic, is one of the busiest times for any airline 3) Went to LA known for god-awful traffic 4) Had to deal with airport personnel at a time which was massively busy and short staffed because of the pandemic 5) Had to talk to airport lady in which you were probably the 10,000 person that day coming to her with the exact same problem that was actually caused by personnel thousands of miles away This is why people drink.

JUSTICE FOR OUR KINGS!!! REEE BAGGAGE

1st I'd just like to say sorry bro. Not even as a fan but just as a regular person it's upsetting that you had to deal with all this both the airport and the airline should do better its not OK it can never be OK to go trough something like this and be left in the dark especially because it was trough no fault of your own. Life is hard enough as it is we all deserve better. I get that this was probably weeks ago and to some degree you likely over it but its not something you gonna just forget so you really have my deepest sympathy

If you know someone on this side of the ocean, people have been booking tickets say from Dublin to another irish or uk airport back to Dublin to check the piles of lost luggage. a well known musicians instruments were lost and he did the above. He didn't find his but there were other people's in among the mess.

put an air tag in! Would have been super interesting for you to show up at a airline staff house that stole it

If my customer service would be that bad, I would 100% tell him/her few nice words.

In a sing song voice: "I'm so worried about, the baggage retrieval, system they've got in Heathrow" -Monty Python

If they ever make it to LAX maybe keep your eyes out on unclaimedbaggage to see if your equipment ends up there.

Poor Garnt, what a terrible experience. Flying these days is a nightmare 😡

The thing that is worrying about this is I read an article in a newspaper yesterday, where people are able to buy lost luggage from Heathrow if they don’t have an address in it for around £42. So it’s a good idea to put your address inside any suitcases when travelling in case it gets lost for this reason, hopefully the boys did that or they might find someone could buy their suitcase and end up with a shitload of equipment for next to nothing.

This is why you should always do direct flights between Heathrow and LA, New York, or any other major US city!

I'd rather do laundry than gamble on lost luggage or wasting time waiting for it to appear at the carousel. Unfortunately that's not an option when taking a bunch of film equipment. Also given the size and weight of equipment like that, it probably would have cost them an extra $1-2k just to ship it to LA given how messed up world shipping still is.

*_Aer lingus_* Sounds like a meme waiting to happen

Any updates on this topic?

This reminds me of when I was on my trip back home from my first convention trip(last summer). I had a backpack full of EVERYTHING I bought at the con(everything but two anime weapons I shipped in the mail), a blueray player, a few anime dvd cases, some electronics I use for streams and gaming(headphones, mouse, mini mic), and Lastly, my brand new gaming laptop. I usually carry it on with me, but my brother demanded it be in the checked bins cause he wanted them as full as possible. And he refused my small suitcase that was usually in there. So we get the bins checked, and we fly to Seattle, get our bags, and we then drive 4 hours to my grandma’s. The next day, we organize the bins for shipping cargo to get to our village, and I dig through every bin and my backpack ISN’T. THERE. At this point, I’m having a full on panic attack and crying trying to find my backpack because there’s $3000+ worth of stuff in there. And my brother’s whatever attitude isn’t helping 😑. My mom was a lot more helpful and reassuring and called customer service, but they didn’t find it. Then an hour later my brother found my laptop. THANK GOD CAUSE THAT WAS ALMOST $2000. But everything else is gone 😭 After we returned home we sent in a claim for the $1000, but they sent it back and said they couldn’t pay for what THEY STOLE(yes I’m saying stolen 😡) because it was in a bin and not a suitcase. I’m still pissed and it’s been a year. If my laptop was in there I would have made mom help me sue them cause isn’t that a crime???? Plus they are literally blaming ME a for “trusting” them with MY bag that THEY OPEN AND INSPECT. I was so ready to call them myself even tho I can’t talk on phones, I was so pissed.

You should try getting an air tag or a tracking tag so at least you'd know where it is especially helpful for expansive equipment like this

Anyone know what art that is on Garnt's shirt? Looks cool

A couple years ago I did a semester study abroad in Australia, and I forwarded all my mail (temporarily) to my mom's place. I ended up getting back a little early so I cancelled the rest of the forwarding order. Except I live in a small town, so my local post office didn't actually check the computer, they just remembered I had put in a forwarding order and kept forwarding stuff on. I noticed this when I ordered some stuff online and it was marked as getting to my town but never arrived at my house. I put in a request about the missing mail (actually I did it 2 or 3 times), and eventually a guy told me that when they forward stuff they have to change the tracking number which is why it didn't get updated. But he would never give me the new tracking number. And of course when the package got to the post office by my mom they checked the computer system and saw that the forwarding had been cancelled, so they didn't deliver it and didn't keep it either. Never did find out where he hell it went, just ended up re-ordering (and it was like $100 worth of stuff!) and for the rest of the time I lived at that house I had to either order to a friend's house or use a fake name on my mail so they wouldn't keep sending my mail out into a black hole.

Surely they can sue for negligence.

I might be wrong, but once you have checked in, the plane won't leave without you, as far as I know. Plus, you can always call the representative for a delay, I suppose, it is not you fault airport is failing to manage it's own scheduled flights

Seeing as you managed to get by with renting equipment, maybe for future work trips - stick with that plan so you don't risk your own filming equipment getting lost or damaged in transit.

These days, it's probably faster to go through immigration at LAX than through the domestic terminal.

They may still be at the air-port! In the UK as lot of airlines are cancelling flights and facing huge backlogs for the flights that do go ahead due to lack of staff for the airlines and the air ports (being reported on UK TV news). This is due to the whole industry (UK) recovering from the lay-offs due to COVID and the hugely increased demand for flights since the restrictions have been lifted. NOT an excuse but it a valid reason for it! So keep chasing them as the luggage may never have left the airport or been severely delayed. I would think the flight industry in the USA would have recovered a lot quicker due to the size of their domestic market.

I wish you guys talked about the new OPM chapters.

too many transfers for an equipment of 50K i wouldnt have done this. I wouldve ensured it first of all and maybe send it with a container or a track and trace. I hope you guys get the equipment.

Next time you pack up your bags use Airtag to track your stuff they will never be lost. Just a thought.

They should offer airtags at the counter atleast people can track their luggage themselves

If you are shipping thousands of dollars of equipment use an actual freight company to ship it the day before you leave, don't trust the companies that are infamous for losing luggage.
