Jill Schildhouse recounts her vacation in Mexico with her mother that was marred by a lost luggage incident. Upon arriving in Puerto Vallarta, while Jill's bag appeared, her mother's did not. Instead, they received a stranger’s suitcase due to a luggage tag mix-up by the airline staff, resulting in the mom's luggage being misdirected to Delhi, India. This experience served as a reminder of the importance of checking luggage tags and remaining vigilant during travel.
When they had checked in for their flight, a staff member must've accidentally swapped the luggage tags - and her mom's luggage ended up halfway around the globe.
At that moment, it was clear something had gone very, very wrong. We were filing a mishandled item report when I reached into my purse and found the luggage-tag stickers.
My mom's sticker didn't have her name on it at all. Instead, it bore a completely different one with a destination that made my stomach drop: Delhi, India.
With her mom's luggage thousands of miles away and a stranger's suitcase in their hands, Schildhouse realized that this taught her an important lesson when traveling.
