Trip to Austria

****ed of is not the word I would like to use but lets see what you all
think. I packed all my make up, nail polish, nail repair stuff,
toiletries etc in individual plastic zipplock baggies one with make up
stuff one with nail stuff one with toiletries all in my suitcase. Ok
now you say ok good girl. Well guess what happened when i arrived in the
hotel and i opened my suitcase those sob had open every bottle and
container and did not close them and also not the zipplock baggie all my
cloth and shoes stink and the stuff around the baggies is ruined. What a
nice way to start a vacation. On the return trip they did not even close
the suitcase just taped it (no it was not stuffed) When I confronted the
airline all they said was "so sorry". *******s! Oh and yes I am a old
teed of Lady. Is this common? I want to go next year again to Vienna but
I am afraid I might have to buy new cloth again over there.What can i o
to prevent this? Thanks

You should also see a note by the TSA telling you your bag has been
gone over. File a complaint to TSA and demand compensation. You need
to be prepared to furnish receipts for things which got damaged. At
lease I did. Two years ago I had my digital camera stolen in a
checked bag. Whether it was stolen by TSA I don't know. When I
arrived at the destination in my hotel I found the TSA note and my
camera missing. I filed a claim againt TSA. I got compensated for
50% of the purchase cost of the camera.

Prior to that I never thought twice putting my camera in the checked
bag going to one particular destination for the past three to four
years. That trip which I found the camera stolen was to a different
detination. But I learned never to put anything of value in the
checked bag ever again.

Buy shampoo and other squirtables in Austria once you arrive, rather
than bringing them with you? They sell nice stuff there. You might even
discover a new brand you like better than what you've used before.
