burned luggage

According to the Tampa Bay News Channel 10 (heard via

Travelography) there might be something worse than having the airline lose your luggage.

Oldsmar, Florida Barbara Blewitt loves to travel and purchased a set of high quality Lands End luggage last year. But on a recent trip to Atlantic City aboard Spirit Airlines she couldnt believe what she saw when she arrived at baggage claim.

I looked and there on the floor was my luggage, says Blewitt who discovered her bag had been mysteriously burned

I said what does that mean, what happened here? My clothes are burned!

In fact, the luggage was so badly burned, almost everything inside, worth an estimated $350, was ruined too.

I had no clothes, no underwear, no cosmetics, nothing but a burned suitcase, Blewitt said.

yikes…I’d be a little less concerned about the luggage and more concerned about WHY it was burned.

Don’t think I would want to be the next one to ride in THAT plane.
