😤 The Sinking Feeling That Every Traveler Knows
I went through every traveler’s nightmare: the empty baggage claim stare. You stand there, convincing yourself maybe it’s late, not lost. Maybe it’s stuck in Dallas. Maybe someone grabbed it by mistake.
But deep down, your gut already knows.
When the airline rep finally typed my info into the system, she gave me that half-sympathetic, half-bored look and said,
“We’ll open a case, ma’am. You should hear back within 72 hours.”
Seventy-two hours?! My flight was Friday. The wedding was Sunday.
I wasn’t waiting three days.
Lucky for me, I’d tucked an AirTag inside my suitcase — a small, $29 gadget I’d bought on a whim last Christmas. That little white disc was about to change everything.
