US Airways lost my bag and its 5:35pm on the second day of it being misplaced and they havent a clue of where it is. If its not found on the 4th day I am sucking them up for all they are worth! THIS IS HELL! lucky for you they delivered it the next day. US Airways lost my bag and its 5:35pm on the second day of it being misplaced and they havent a clue of where it is.
