[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 2581979, member: 11837"] I'll add this just cause some, may find it some what useful maybe HAHA! many yrs back now, when I used to fly a lot to shoots and for hunts, I used to have the theory to get to the air port extra early, to get all things done and save any rushing on time what I found out was this, the FIRST folks that check baggage be it a rifle case or luggage, have a higher rate of bags getting lost and or missed flights and the reason is rather simple as they take in luggage they load carts, first things on cart are LAST things off cart on two flights I actually watch my baggage NOT get loaded onto plane due to they ran out of room(both times was on flights to a hunt in Alberta!) Baggage did arrive on a different flight,. but at a later time the same day! , once it was re routed to Texas, other time to Utah, before heading back up to Alberta after many conversations with some nice rather honest sounding folks in the airlines, they told me this was common practice and better to NOT be the first few bags checked in! so, take this as ??? , its something I was told and I have stopped being the first at check in now ! and been problem free since! food for thought!
