I used to believe that stories of luggage going astray in air travel was an urban myth held aloft solely on the hot air of american comedians. Personal experience has enlightened me: personally having been deprived of luggage for the FIRST WEEK of a say in England, and with Ainslie (my wife) having hers go amiss during a changeover flight Perth->Armidale NSW, I stand corrected. My prediction is that soon, luggage will come with Global Positioning Sattelite equipment as standard.
