Many years ago I traveled for work and would fly on Mondays and either Thursdays or Fridays. On some weekends I would go back “home”, and others I would go elsewhere. I often had several weeks of flights booked to various places, but typically going back to my work site. I prefer to check a bag if it’s larger than a backpack and was making nearly a hundred trips a year without issue. And then one day my bag didn’t show up. The airline finally did find it, but they had sent it to a destination I happened to be visiting the next week. When they offered to ship it back I asked them to keep it where it was and they were incredulous. I was more concerned about not having it for the next leg of my trip and didn’t want something to happen to it in the mean time. When I arrived, it was waiting for me unscathed. This was long before it was cheap enough to track anything of moderate value, so it was a relief that the bag was found at all.
