Better late than never (but only just)

My luggage finally arrived, almost two days later than originally scheduled. As I alluded to earlier this week, I arrived on Sunday night (later than expected) without my bag. It had gone through customs in Toronto (they make you retrieve it, bring it through and drop back on a different belt) but the issue was that my original flight was delayed and then cancelled, they put all the passengers on a later flight, and the bags never came with us. It took them another 24 hours to get the bag to Boston (odd) and then the delivery service didn’t get it to my accommodation until the following afternoon (today). The biggest surprise was either the fact that the barcode apparently doesn’t do anything (well, at least according to Air Canada) or the unwillingness of the support agents to volunteer assistance - I had to ask for/demand a toothbrush/tshirt etc (they gave the mini-pack but didn’t advertise its existence) and again for the possibility to have additional expenses (clothing etc) made claimable (again, no problem agreeing, but only because I asked).

Picture to the right is the tags on the bag as I received it. Ironic. Or something.
