An Amarillo agent told me that my bags went to DFW even tho I didn't, but she would have them returned to her station later Monday for delivery Tuesday. Not hearing from anyone today, I tracked them on the airline website and saw that they were still in DFW so got on the phone. I know of no way to call that station, if there is, then it's a well guarded secret, and I didn't have a claim number like one might get on lost bags - just the agents worthless promise, but I called the main number for baggage and she got a specialist to call me. I have his email addy and phone number in case I need it again!
He explained that it would not be best to return the bags to Amarillo since I am closer to Lubbock as they might turn around and resend them via DFW again to Lubbock and who knows what all could go wrong. He suggested having them shipped to Lubbock for delivery out of there. I kept tracking the bags, found an odd entry that they'd been flown to Cozumel today even tho the airline doesn't fly there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this month, but finally later tonight they now track as arrived in Lubbock! Well, that's closer. Hopefully someone will call in the morning about a delivery, but if not - I do have that contact!
Who knows? I might plan a dive trip someday and need all of that gear again. I still have work to do on refunds of the ticket and luggage fees, to watch that the reserved hotel does not try to charge me for more than the first night, and maybe I haven't thought of everything yet. I did cancel my dentist appointment and the PDC to Cancun van for next week.
