I was traveling with my 2 small children (still in pull-ups/diapers) on a direct flight from Orlando to BWI. I checked 1 carseat since my daughter (22 mo old) was supposed to be a lap child (see my other post for that story). We arrived 2 hours ahead of time but were delayed my the check-in asst for almost an hour before needing to brave security. When we finally arrived after that nightmare, our bags weren't @ BWI. I had to get a loaner carseat from the AP. God only knows when it was last washed. I was given a case number and told they hoped it was on the next flight, but they didn't know for sure. Apparently, they couldn't find my tracking numbers. After leaving the AP @ 3:30 pm, I got a call about 8:00 pm saying my luggage was found and would be delivered to me late that night or early morning ie: 11:00 pm -1:00 am respectively. I called the 800 # that I was given @ 1:30 am asking about my luggage. The lady couldn't get a hold of anyone at BWI, but noted that my bags weren't scheduled to be delivered until around 5:00 am!!! She was very apologetic for the situation and gave me a $50 stipend if I needed to purchase diapers before mine arrived...BUT IT WAS 1:30 AM!!! Where was I going to get diapers when I don't even have a car??? I was visiting relatives for a WEDDING the next day!! We did get our luggage, but it took a few days to recover from the lack of sleep after staying up so late for nothing and my children being up so early (6:00 am)
