A help desk staff at Düsseldorf apparently “wasn’t too helpful” as she seemed to be in a rush to go home even though there were around 20 passengers awaiting assistance. In the end, staff provided the stranded travellers with taxi and hotel vouchers. They also offered to rebook Ying on a new flight to Prague – but with another layover in Munich or Frankfurt.She finally reached Prague on Dec 16, two days after schedule.For 21 days, she had to live out of two cabin bags that were “mostly empty with no clothes”.When she finally received her luggage on Jan 8, she filed a baggage delay claim with another insurance company and received $200.

A pack costs a pricey $45.40 on the Singapore online store, but Ying could continuously track her luggage, which gave her peace of mind.Get The New Paper on your phone with the free TNP app. Download from the
