Ok a bit of a rant here, but in the US I usually fly AA around the US domestically. And NEVER had a luggage problem with them, after dozens, probably 30-40 flights. Tonight I had my second ever UA flight .... and second time my luggage didn't make it (first time ORD-YWG on a RJ this time ORD-STL again on a RJ... a pattern emerging?). Is that the norm? I think I should have forked out the extra $15 and flown on AA tonite instead. Oh well such is life.
