Now, with upcoming standing flights - "vertical seats" is this what they call it?? - it will be difficult for the poor dear to travel at all.

LOL.........I see that I never did tell you guys that United phoned us three weeks after this to tell us that think they may have finally located the leg!

Auntie already had hers back for a good two weeks by that time...so i guess it was some other poor soul's limb!

My question is why'd she bag the leg in the first place? Isn't it customary to wear the leg?

Giada, it was very inconvenient to fly in that new standing-up seat with an artificial limb.

Giada,
She checked the leg because she had more leg room without it!

That was the only way to get the damn leg through security.

Yup that's right....they're still not scanning checked baggage at most airports! How safe are we? Not very! Despite the "security fees" that are eating our wallets!

LEAD STORY

Carry-on Blues: (1) Just after the Aug. 10 restrictions were imposed, British Airways refused to allow disabled New Zealand runner Kate Horan (on her way to the paralympic world championships in the Netherlands) to carry on her prosthetic leg, as she had long been allowed to do. Her checked-baggage leg was then lost in the chaos at Heathrow airport, and the prosthetic's manufacturer scrambled to make Horan a new one. (The leg was found a week later, and at press time, Horan had won at least one medal.)
