LUGGAGE-TALE CONTEST
LUGGAGE-TALE CONTEST
Here are 3 excellent luggage tales. Which one would you vote for? Why?
LUGGAGE TALE 1
Last summer, I spent two weeks in Djerba, in Tunisia with my parents.
I took off from Luxembourg airport to Djerba on August 8th. My flight was on time. Two hours later, I arrived in Djerba. We got off the plane and walked to the terminal building and went to the baggage reclaim to collect our luggage. I was standing at the baggage carousel when suddenly I saw my suitcase wrapped into a big plastic bag. My suitcase was broken, especially the lock. My parents and I opened it in order to check nothing was missing. Fortunately, I didn’t lose anything and the most interesting thing was my favourite sunglasses and they were in it! Since the suitcase was seriously damaged, we had to go to the baggage reclaim desk to make a damaged report. So, we missed the bus to the hotel. We decided to take a taxi. We were waiting for a taxi, when, my suitcase opened on the pavement. All my clothes were on the ground. I was so angry! The taxi driver gave me a string to close my suitcase. Then, we left the airport by taxi and the funny thing was that we got to the hotel before all the holidaymakers who took the bus we missed!
LUGGAGE TALE 2
Three years ago, during the summer holidays, I went to the Island of Reunion with my mother and my brother to visit my aunt and my cousin.
I flew from Paris CDG to Reunion Roland Garros Airport with a connection in Mahajanga, Madagascar. The first flight, the Paris-Mahajanga one, was delayed, so the next flight from Mahajanga to St-Denis (where the Reunion Roland Garros Airport is located) took off late. When I arrived in St-Denis, I couldn't find my suitcase and all my clothes were in it. So, I went to the baggage desk and someone told my mother that my suitcase would be delivered at my aunt's as soon as possible. Fortunately, as I was at my cousin's he gave me clothes and flip-flops until I get my suitcase back, but the T-shirt and the trousers were too big for me because my cousin is older than me.
Because of this,, for two days, I was wearing clothes which made me look ridiculous and people were looking at me in the street.
Eventually, the airline delivered my suitcase (a man had taken mine instead of his) and it was really better.
Today, I still remember the people's laughters.
LUGGAGE TALE 3
Three years ago, in August, I went to Saint Pierre, Reunion to visit my aunt and my cousin for two weeks.
On the way back, I flew from Reunion Rolland Garros Airport to Paris Charles de Gaulle with a connection in Lyon Saint Exupery Airport. The Reunion-Lyon flight landed late so I was obliged to run to avoid missing the Lyon-Paris flight, which was on time. With this incident, I had completely forgotten my suitcase. And when I arrived in Paris, it wasn't there. So I went to the airport baggage desk to report the issue. i was explaining to the lady that my first flight was late, when I suddenly realized my absent-mindedness. The lady said my suitcase would have been placed on the next flight due in later. She gave me a form to complete, and she said my suitcase would be delivered at their expense to my hotel. But I don't live in Paris and I had to go back home! And I was wearing shorts and a shirt because of the eleven hours of my return journey.
Eventually I spent the night in Paris and the airport delivered my suitcase to my hotel in the afternoon.
