That reminds me of a story. In 2009 I flew into Sydney with a team of 20 people and 40 duffle bags, and the regional airline to Melbourne refused to check half the luggage despite us having a pre-arranged letter from them stating otherwise. So, a team member and I rented a car, bought a SIM card and several Red Bulls, and drove to Melbourne to join the rest of the team the next morning. With the international flight, that was a very long day!
