Share Contact: Baggage Hunters

In Europe, it’s the summer of lost luggage. I can’t count how many of my friends have lost theirs–it’s usually on a connecting flight, but it also happens on nonstops. It seems the airlines and airports are overwhelmed and understaffed–besides baggage nightmares, there are so many canceled flights. (I just had my nonstop to Rome canceled and barely found another flight.) One of my friends discovered this great service called Best of Europe, who will take care of lost bags–they have direct contact with the baggage departments and can track them down fast–for $250. They also have a service where they’ll arrange your car service and have an expediter at the airport who gets you to the front of the line, or upon arrival, have someone who meets you at the gate and walks you through customs, cutting any line. I know the line cutting isn’t for everyone, and neither is spending $250-350 per couple to do so, but for those of you who want this, it’s a great contact to have.
