   I'd appeal to the office of fair trading standards. There must be a way that you can get your things covered.

   Not sure if anyone here is familiar with dry ice and getting it these days, but few places stock it. I bought a small block of it 2 or 3 years ago in Norwalk for dent repair on a car (can work on some dents) and finding it was not that easy.

   Expect to pay 20, and it only lasts for a few days in the fridge. You probably don't want to handle the stuff much due to the frost bite danger, so use that trap only if you truly believe you may have an issue. Waking up between 2 and 5AM will probably give you similar results if you already think they are present FYI.

   When sleeping in hotels these days, I keep all luggage on stands and when I wake up look all over. Coworker was in a Hyatt and woke up to then checking her out, so brand and quality of hotel may help you avoid them, but it's no guarantee.

   I'm considering one of the plastic luggage covers for when I travel. I'm far from paranoid, but with my wife an child at home, this is one plague I don't want to bring home.

   It's doubtful you will be able to sue them unless you can prove they were grossly negligent. Baggage is covered up to a certain amount and that's it.

   They have told you that they are mailing a check in a separate envelope.

   Here is their legal statement on luggage:

   Here is the phone number and contact address, but yes, it's a PO Box: http://www.delta.com/help/contact_us/support_services/index.jsp

    If you decide to ship your luggage because your worried about it getting scuffed or torn, an easier way to protect your bags would be to get a luggage cover. I got mine from Carry-rite. The have covers for most luggage.

    _ “Louie, Louie” _

    A few years ago, I was a witness to two incidents involving air travellers carrying Louis Vuitton luggage. Both incidents originated from Paris, but in different trips there. Each was satisfying to me in its own unique way. As will be seen, French air travel personnel do not suffer fools lightly, especially snotty, snobbish Parisian ones with high-priced luggage.

    No. 1. Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. The luggage check-in line. Ahead of me are a well-heeled Parisian couple, trailing behind their Louis Vuitton luggage. Steamer Trunks. REALLY BIG LUGGAGE, being wheeled in on something that looks like a double-wide building materials cart you see at Home Depot. Bags piled 6' high. At least. (Or should I say, about 9 meters high?)

    These hideously expensive bags are well protected, of course. By layers of plastic wrap. No, not that sissy stuff that wraps your newspaper on a rainy day. Heavy grade, industrial sheeting, round and round, and bound with layers of duc tape. If you could wrap a battleship in this sheeting, incoming torpedoes would bounce off of it.

    Apparently, the couple must have believed that if they showed up with a seemingly impregnable luggage fortress, airport personnel would be too intimidated to dare to attack it. Yeah, sure, just wave it through. Pass the inspection, right? (Or, perhaps the couple was of aristocratic descent and they were anticipating preferential treatment. Hey, all that 'Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite' junk — who needs it anymore, right? Let them eat cake. “Just let us go through, we're special.”) Sorry, ain't gonna happen, Jacques.

    At the onset of World War I, the Belgians believed that their fortress at Liege was impregnable, too. The Germans had an answer. Big Bertha. Impregnable fortress today, rubble tomorrow. Well, the French airport inspectors had seen it all before. They were ready with an answer to the luggage fortress. Out came the razor-sharp, precision-tooled Lagioule knives. Best in the world. (French, of course!) Cut through a diamond like butter.

    One nice surgical slash across the front of the bags and – voila! – no more luggage cover. Guess the 'Louies' might suffer a scuff or two on their way across The Pond.

    No. 2. Air France 747. Passengers getting on board and being seated. I'm at a window seat on the right and one row behind the row of seats fronting the restrooms in the middle of the cabin. There is enough space in front of that row in front of me to put the Space Shuttle. But there's also a space between the seat in front of me and the interior fuselage wall to the right, so I stretch out my legs a bit.

    A young French woman dressed to the nines then takes the seat in front of me. (Perhaps she's lost and was on her way to a fashion shoot.) She has a couple of 'tres precious' Louis Vuitton bags with her. They need protection. More than her own life. She ignores the cavernous space between her seat and the restrooms. Someone might actually brush across her bags if they were so exposed in the open. Quel désastre! Can't risk it. So she puts them to her right side and in the space that my legs WERE attempting to occupy.

    Being in that space first does not count with Miss Priss. I withdraw my legs, my leg space paradise now apparently gone. Miss Priss' bags are now properly protected from any microbes that might filter down from the air nozzles above.

    I say “apparently.” Perhaps I should have said “momentarily.” An Air France Steward is walking up the main aisle. He spots Miss Priss' bags strategically wedged along the wall (taking up what was once my valuable leg space). He turns right and walks across Miss Priss' aisle cavern toward the bags along the wall.

    No need for social niceties or diplomatic protocol (“Mademoiselle, would you kindly move your luggage so that Monsieur behind you may have some leg room?”). No, no words from the Steward to Miss Priss. Instead, WOOSH! Up and out go the bags, to somewhere in bag purgatory.

    I really like Air France.
