Munich International Airport

We landed in Munich at around 17:45 and picked up our luggage, as what we been told to when we were in Madrid. One of Paul's suitcases was missing. Groan. We waited until the carousel stopped running, but nothing came.

The Air Europa lost baggage desk wasn't where the luggage carousel was, and someone from the other lost luggage desks couldn't help us. A security chap at the baggage exit door advised that we had to go to a luggage desk somewhere in terminal D. It turned out that it was the other end of the airport, a long walk. Bearing in mind time was marching for our flight. Paul was furious, tired, and absolutely fed up.

As we passed by the check-in desk, Paul asked what time

We got to the help desk, and the lady took his details for his lost luggage, to find and retrieve it, and send it on. She was as confused as we were as to why we got 2 pieces of luggage and not 3. With minutes to spare, we raced to check our luggage in at the desk, and the chap was baffled that we had 2 pieces of luggage with us as he could see 3 on his system. We tried to explain, but he was as mystified as we were.

We have managed to get to the departure gate just in time and are boarding in a minute. We are now flying to Amsterdam - at last!Read more
