My dutch cuz said it's not about Covid so much as the Ukraine war. The Dutch are seriously working overtime to keep their tiny country safe from russian-ukrainian "refugees" and economic migrants - seems they've plugged things up sooooo tight that they can no longer find bottom rung workers to do menial jobs like baggage handling. Same kind of issue as Australia can't find fruit pickers....

I'm going to get everything sent off this weekend and then move on - Don't want to stay engaged with this vibe but equally not happy about the lack of airline accountability and having to spend yet again to buy more luggage. I'd love to be able to afford samsonite.... LOL - maybe I should seek luggage sponsors and invite them to roadtest their luggage with me through schiphol in December?? LOL...

Haha yeah go the influencer vibe 😂

Oh yeah, guilty of Australian detachment here.... War in Ukraine IS affecting petrol prices so we are listening 😂

I do have a vent post in my drafts... But I've moved on now so it seems silly to post it.

Your venting is totally legit and anyone who has travelled understands the freaking outrage! I've known people to put gps trackers on their luggage so THEY can tell the airlines where it is...
