Why the airlines won't reimburse you for the bag, and i think the airline peeps here will correct me if I'm wrong, is that you didn't show them the damage prior to leaving the airport. I know most people don't examine their bags when they arrive especially after a long flight like that. But if it's such an expensive bag (and Samsonites are not cheap) I would examine it and make a claim straight away.


What would prompt him to say that?
The claim was made with the airline on 2/19/2010.

He offered me $50.00 when he called without looking at the damaged bag and I questioned him on that plus he has to cover up for Lilian. She has been reported to Continental. But I have a feeling they are all in together on this scam. Play around and don't pay anything and hope the passenger will go away.
