Summary
A United Airlines passenger, Riss, shared her “nightmare storytime” on TikTok about a recent trip from Texas to Brussels, Belgium. She had only a carry-on, but a flight attendant took it from her and checked it, claiming there was no space in the overhead bins. The suitcase was lost, and Riss says she was told the only way to find it was by identifying how it looked. She also experienced issues on her return trip, including a diverted flight and a cancelled connecting flight, which led her to book additional flights and a $750 hotel room.

The habit gets a new name.
Traveling with only a carry-on, because who needs checked bags, right? Flight attendants know best, and if they say there’s no space, you just have to trust them. And if they take your bag and lose it, well, that’s just part of the adventure. The airline will definitely help you track it down… or not. And if you’re really lucky, you’ll get to enjoy a $750 hotel room on your own dime.
When the airline says “we’re not responsible for weather-related disruptions,” you know you’re in for a treat. And when they tell you the claim process for your lost bag could take four weeks or more, you can’t help but feel like you’re in good hands.
