My grammar is not perfect, English is not my first language. Besides I am not the one showing off that I speak perfect English without accent.

Any way at least I am a very happy person

God bless you all!

Awesomely written story, and very similar to what I've experienced at the hands of United, Continental, and space-available Military Transport flights.

United treats every bag like it's filled with sand instead of peoples' possessions, and they have no respect for the customer when something goes awry. I will NEVER fly on their airlines again after my last experience on a flight between DC and New York... over 8 hours in delays, a missed connecting flight, an overnight stay in La Guardia airport, misplaced luggage that got to my destination AFTER I returned from the trip to CA, and they had the audacity to tell me that my camera gear would have to be checked, while a guitar player walked his hardshell case on board.

As another photog in this thread suggested, if they EVER make you check your carry-on bag with your gear, take your cameras out, mount the lenses and flashes, and hold onto them for dear life. Any camera that you hand these imbeciles is a camera that you should fully expect to have broken or damaged in some way. I checked the bag like they demanded... but I'll be damned if there was anything worth more than $100 in it!

A few years ago I got evicted from my seat on a european commuter flight to make room for a deadheading crewmember just as we were about to depart. They made me get off the plane, go to the back and get my luggage (it was a commuter leg so we were on the tarmac), haul all my luggage myself across the ramp, up the stairs, through the terminal, all the while with an agent telling me to hurry up. He carried nothing. We went to another gate where they were going to put me on a different flight, only to have them say we were too late as they had just closed the airplane door. Then the first agent turned and yelled at me, saying it was my fault because I didn't run fast enough! They made me miss all my connections which would have taken me from Valencia to Seattle. It ended up taking me three days to get home. How's that for service?

Surprised you didn't have to spend more time in that country from killing the agent.

Yep, would have been understandable if I ended up on "Locked Up Abroad."
