I actually work at a lost & found office and know how frustrating it is for passengers without luggage. About when you are contacted, we contact passengers when the bag is recived at our airport. Any other information is speculation and would not help anybody. If they said the plane was overloaded I bealive that it would be hard for them to say: Oh, we don't know. That is actually the case, the bag without an owner is a threat, especially after 9/11, so it goes throug numerous hands before it can be put on the plane. The reason why it didn't go through all the procedure is almost immposible to know. But I will tell you that most of the bags are found (maybe 1-3% - depending on airline and airports are not found). So I do bealive you will get your bag - according to the date I think you got it. I am sorry to hear that as well.

I too have been on the backend of Qantas losing luggage (and blaming it on Air France that time) so you have my sympathies. If you need smaller clothes, try the department store David Jones. They have a petites section. Oh and when they do find your bag, when the baggage guy calls to deliver it, push them to get it to you earlier. Because they'll inevitably suggest some impractical time a day in the future. Sorry to hear this Karen.
