Better footing? Har, Clark! I haven't re-read the posts but please tell me it was her spare leg....😇

OMG, this thread returns!! Thank you Dayenu!

(Still praying for that lost leg.)

This thread survived the pandemic! YAY!!

Who of the oldies are still around?

True story: Airline returns lost luggage containing a prosthetic leg.

schmerl, thanks for posting - perfect for this thread!!!

How long ago was it! Since then, my kids settled in Buffalo - tenured professors, bought a house, had a baby. Of course I didn't know this all will happen when I posted this years and years ago.

The leg reappears!!

I can't believe I read the whole thing!!

I guess he has kneed to get a leg up on everyone.

I'll stop while I am one step ahead.

I thought we exhausted the leg puns when the first leg of this post appeared, but maybe we can come up with more.

I've had lost luggage many times, but never lost leggage.

Is she now getting half-price pedicure? Does she work in a brewery being in charge of the hops? Is she lack-toes intolerant?

Will she wear a flamingo costume on Halloween?

Brilliant Dayenu 👏

This is so old, two of the three airlines mentioned don't even exist anymore. But I guess America West and U.S.Air were never on good footing.

PM, Dayenu and Clark---very punny!!!!

What a story!

The topic "PRAY FOR THE LEG !!!" seems to revolve around a concern about losing an artificial leg while traveling. One commenter empathizes by sharing their own travel mishap with lost luggage, though they highlight the ability to walk as a key difference. Another commenter questions the wisdom of checking an artificial leg in luggage, suggesting it would be safer to keep such an important item in a carry-on. Just as one wouldn't check a beloved cat in the luggage, this underscores the importance of keeping essential items with you during travel to avoid potential complications.

I have flown since my last post to this thread and guess what? My luggage was lost. AGAIN. This is the 12th time it's happened. I learned a long time ago never to put body parts into checked luggage. It's just not good to hop around while on vacation.

I hope this serves as a valuable lesson to all travelers.

P_M, Yikes! That must be some kind of record. Any idea why so many times? Other than gross incompetence?

I can't explain it. Before I retired I only flew 2 or 3 times a year. I'm traveling a bit more now, but still not nearly as much as some people.

That is a horrible record, PM, and serious PIAs. You sound like a perfect candidate for the best Luggage Tracer. Good luck in future travels.

I agree, it's a terrible record, and I have never met anyone else so unlucky in luggage. I should probably be in the Guinness Book of World Records, but this is not a contest anyone wants to win.

In case anyone is interested, I've posted a thread about this in the Air Travel forum, as there's more to this story. Having lost luggage is even worse than it used to be.
