It's really strange that a commercial business "never" answers the
phone...perhaps you have the wrong number? Try the 800 operator and ask her
if they have a toll free number. Or go to their website....

The phone numbers dedicated for the lost baggage never get answered,
instead you go through some recorded message that says to fax your
claims or mail them to some address.
But they replied my emails telling me to wait 100 days which I waited
already. Then after 120 days they tell me to be patient. It's been
four months without any compensation and also I can't even get
anything from the travel insurance I bought because they wait first
for the airline settlement.
