Stupid Singapore Experience.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I arrived in Singapore on November 17th at 12 noon on Cathay Pacific.

I started my journey from Boston on 15th November, and as usual, the flight got delayed 2 hours.

So from the start, I had to rush from plane to plane all the way from New York to Hong Kong.

Finally when I arrived in Singapore, my luggage did not arrive.
luggage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was not that bad initially as I thought my luggage would arrive several hours later.

I was really disappointed at the luggage lost and found service at Changi International Airport. There was only 1 person serving me while the many other people behind the counter were chatting away among themselves. I had to wait almost an hour before someone did anything to try to locate my luggage.

After waiting for this really slow service, I was finally told the most worthless thing ever... "You will get your luggage when it comes..."

There was no one here that could track my luggage, know whether it was on any flights or at any airports...

All my sample and clothes were there and I had a 4pm meeting.

As there was nothing I could do, I went to a presentation at the National University in Singapore (NUS). As I had no passports, and my parents were not home, I had to buy new clothes and stay outside.. Life sucks...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After calling them every 4 hours, I finally got a reply 28 hours after my flight landed. My luggage arrived 36 hours after my plane landed.

The experience was very bad. I never expected Singapore airport to be that bad. Well they are no longer the #1 airport.
