<p align=justify><i>Airline Agent:</i> Thank you for calling American Airlines. My name is Jennifer. How can I help you?<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> Jennifer, I need to change a flight I scheduled last week.<br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> Do you have your confirmation number?<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> Just a second. Uhh.. Sorry, I’ve found it now. It’s 53DG9827.<br>   
<i>Airline Agent:</i> Let me repeat that. Your confirmation number is 5, 3, 'D' as in 'dog,' 'D' G as in 'get,' 9, 8, 2, 7.<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> Yes.<br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> Okay, let me see. You’re scheduled to depart from Los Angeles  
at 4:15 p.m. on September,15th and arrive at the airport in San Francisco at 5:36 p.m. What do we need to change?<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> The problem is my business conference in San Francisco will start earlier. I need to arrive there in the morning.<br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> I see. Let me check... Okay, there is an early morning flight that departs from Los Angeles at 8:00 o'clock a.m. That would put you in San Francisco at 9:23 a.m. Does that allow the time you need?<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i>  Oh, it’s too early, but if you don’t have any other options...<br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> I’m sorry, but we have only one offer.<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> Alright then. <br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> So your new confirmation number is 25YT8996. You’ll still be able to check in online or with an agent when you arrive at the airport. Is there anything else I can help you with?<br>  
<i>Mr. Johns:</i> No, not at this time. Thank you.<br>  
<i>Airline Agent:</i> Thank you, Mr. Johns. I’m glad you chose American Airlines for your business trip. Have a good day.<br></p></dd>

<p align=justify> You’ve decided to make a trip somewhere with a few stops. My stops were London and Sydney, why am I mentioning them? Well, the disadvantage of having stopovers is… you guessed it, your luggage may get delayed or lost.</p><br>  
<p align=justify>   
<b>What to do when your luggage doesn’t arrive?</b>  
<ul style="max-width: 500px;">   
<li>When the carousel has stopped and you haven’t seen your luggage, go to the Lost & Found desk for delayed, lost and damaged luggage, so they can open a file for you.  
<li>You’ll need your boarding pass and your luggage tags with bar codes you got when you checked in.  
<li>They will ask you questions like what your luggage looks like, brand, colour, etc.  
<li>You’ll get a number for your file with a contact telephone number you can call to inform about your luggage later on.  
<li>If you’re lucky, you’ll get an emergency bag with toiletries.  
<li>That’s it, now you wait and hope they’ll deliver your suitcase sooner rather than later.</ul></p>  
<p align=justify>   
As for our arrival, after some time we came to the sad conclusion that our luggage was not there when the carousel stopped. Paying a visit to the airline desk, taught us it was still in London! Not really what you want to hear after being awake for many hours but  guess, what did I do next? I called my insurance company to see if I was insured for incidents like this and they reimbursed all my expenses according to my bills in clothes shops.  I just had to get the bills and proof from the airline that my luggage was delayed.</p>
