Did this all take place on the first leg of her journey?

Good luck tracy.

tracy, I'm glad you have a great sense of humor. It's no small feat trying to locate lost luggage.

Hope I'm not going out on a limb or anything here, but I just wanted to wish you luck in locating your aunt's leg.

Enuff already!

This thread has become a running joke!

I'll assume that the wonderful airline baggage agents have returned the leg to it's rightful owner by now.

So let's cut it off right here!

I don't klnow if she got it back yet but I'll bet this story becomes a leg-end among lost naggage handlers.

If she ends up having to buy a new leg, the airline should foot the bill.

We Kneed to stop this...I'm sure the poor woman is pacing the floor over this (in very small circles, no doubt).

I hope she lives on a steep hillside. Walking would be much easier for her than walking on flat land. Of course, she could only walk in one direction.... :-?

Five days into the ordeal and she still doesn't have it. Even though the US AIR lady told us she HAD IT IN HER HANDS and was expediting it, they now claim that United has the bag.

United says only that "we show that the bag has been scanned 3 times in the last 24 hours, all 3 times at Dulles airport". Basically the aunt made it out on Saturday but the bag did not, and then got delayed by the snow. But flights have been leaving for 48 hours now so why the heck do they keep "scanning" it at Dulles airport?

I don't even know which claim number to report anymore, we have been given so many. The U.S Air/ America Worst merger is NOT PRETTY and throwing United into the mix is just a recipe for Airplane 3, The Sequel.
(By the way, there was a problem with her newly fitted leg causing pain and she had to take it back to the specialist. She was wearing her older leg.)

One thing is for sure... You people are not praying hard enough!
