AA: Good flights… not so good luggage handling….

16/10/2013 by Kevincm

Good evening from San Juan (Yes, I’m in the process of a mileage run atm). Alas, good cannot be described to the megarucksack when I found this at SJU

Sadly, this is at the base of a rucksack – which isn’t good for its long term life.

A broken strap and stitching coming apart equals one thing: trouble.

So, at my hotel, I’ve got a few sewing kits.

Alas, AA have gone down the line of the luggage is for the protection of the contents…

Although this has descended into some comedy….

Still, it could be worse.

More sewing later, and then a backtrack to Chicago in the morning…

I just hope my bag and stitching survives….

Coming tomorrow: RucksackGate: Did it survive… and can I sew stuff securely?
