Ryanair @ Stansted

[Dusty]

Confiscated my marker to the lost and found apparently, my bag was at the steps to the plane, when i asked why he made me open the bag (which had already been done over) and told me the marker couldn't go.

Tried to explain, showed copy of PGi (God rest it) and still no luck.

Now apparently lost and found have no idea where it is.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED......

Not looking good. Lost and found know nothing about it, apparently "some" of the cases like this are handled by an external company, who conveniently also know nothing about it.

I've to phone back tomorrow, but if they don't know whats going on by then looks like I am down to the tune of 1 Joy A1 Fly.

Ah the old blme someone else game...Is you kit insured mate?

No, unless I can cover it under house insurance. I'll wait till the end of the week before I try any more avenues.

Just to warn everyone else, it can happen, check your airline policy. I've flown loads of times with it, never once had an issue, but it only takes once to lose it.

Mines on my house policy which covers transport too and from home. I checked my policy a while back and it was on for golf clubs ect so I rang up to see what was covered and discussed it and they said im covered as long as they know price of kit ect

Dusty im assuming you came from Dublin or Belfast City?

I use Belfast city all the time and twice iv'e tried to take my marker over (To come down to anarky ironicly enough) and ive been denied at Liverpool to send it over unless it's in my hold bag, which still I have to open and show them to confirm it's unloaded.

EasyJet are worse though.

I'd ring the Dublin HQ and give them utter s*** my boss does that regularly and get's his way, Its not lost, someone's stole it and selling it on Ebay probably. Did you take the optional travel insurance that no one ever takes?

well yeah. Obviously Paintball guns have to be in checked baggage, you can't take them in carry-on. Is that a surprise to people? have people been putting guns in carry-on luggage?

 

[Dusty]

You seem to misunderstand, I had it in my hold luggage. Which was waiting for me at the steps of the aircraft to remove the marker.......

I was flying to belfast city, where i flew from originally.

With my marker.....
