Let’s flash back to Feb 9th, where I left Medan for Sibu. The flights were: Medan -> KL on 9am with 50 minutes journey, transit at the airport for more than 6 hours *boring*, continue with KL -> Sibu on 7pm. Most tiring day ever. Basically I left my home in Medan at 7am and arrived at another home (in-law) at 10pm.
Early morning arriving airport, I already kena conned, that’s why I hate airport especially in Indonesia. After scanned the luggage, I was looking for check-in counter while an airport staff suddenly asked me to had my luggage wrapped. I let him did it, cause I thought it’s a new procedure and free of charge. Finished wrapping with the machine, he said,”IDR10.000 please.” Damn! When I asked him what is the yellow wrapping for, he said it’s for safety. -__-”
Anyway, I checked in, waited and boarded on plane. Met high school friend on plane, we had a meet up previously but never knew that we’ll take the same flight. Also saw an ex-colleague at the immigration there, same flight as well. What a coincident eh?
After the long queue at immigration there, I got my luggage. It was 12 noon, I still have 7 hours until the next flight. I prepared two DVD, The Tourist and Furry Vengeance, to accompany me during waiting cause hubby said LCCT only allowed 2 hours Wifi usage which is true.
Before going for lunch and watch DVD, I decided to check-in first using the machine. Done, I asked the airline staff if I can check-in my luggage that early, she gave me a yes. So off I went to check-in my luggage although I was a bit worry that they might misplaced it, cause I just saw that there is a flight to Sibu on 1pm while mine is on 7pm. But heck, I didn’t feel like carrying a luggage for the next few hours.
So I went to food court, had KFC for lunch, plugged in laptop, watched two DVD until 5pm I guess, proceeded to waiting room and online using acer batteries. Flight delayed a bit, departed at 7pm something and arrived destination at 9pm something. I waited for my luggage eagerly, almost all of the passengers had their luggages already but not mine.
I asked the staff if it was all they got, and yes! Whoa, sweating and panic. Imagine after the tiring day and end up not seeing my luggage? Anyway, we went to the airline office and the staff help us to check. I was panic to the max and grumpy.
Good news, the luggage was checked-in wrongly under other passenger’s name. It flew with 1pm flight and nobody was picking it up, so they sent it back to KL! -__-” My gut feel was proven to be true. They sent it back on the next day. Well, lost and find the way back. Lucky I still have some clothes in my in-law house. See? Always have back-up! ![]()
