what should i do.

[buffalo hockey 0]

well to make a long story short i was flying and brought my hockey bag with me and when i retunred from the trip. once i got home i was unpacking when i saw that my skates were gone.. the airline keeps blowing me off so i have to buy new skates again...i was in a pair of XX size 10. would the RBK 9ks fit the same or do i need to get a diffrent size. also where are the best deals on these skates

[djinferno 2]

wait a second, you're going to take that and do nothing, i'd file a complaint if you're story is true

Sometimes your house insurance can cover that sort of thing, but it depends on your policy and the deductable.

Sucks to be you man.

I would raise hell if that were me.

We had a tourney in Alabama last year and we had a stick bag get "lost". My coach's wife was on the phone for hours yelling at them. After all was said and done, he got a few free tickets and $200 to replace the sticks.

This is a little different because they lost the entire bag (3 sticks). It was in their computer and was tracked. It got "lost" before it even made it on the plane.

Either way, I would put up a huge hissy fit.

As for the sizing of your skates, RBK's are a little wider than the vapor line. They fit a little tighter than the CCM tacks line. I would get fitted before making any big decisions (and remember to support your LHS).

Sadly, the airlines are only responsible for $300. It's in the ultra fine print. And now that we can not lock luggage, and now that carry-on bags are a thing of the past(ones with skates in them, at least), this will get worse.

Good idea on the homeowners insurance. I used to travel a lot with some expensive dive and camera gear, and that was how I made claims for stolen items.

Be persistant.

Same as BadKitty, throw an absolute fit. That should at least show them how angry you are.

Airlines are an absolute bitch to deal with. Good luck getting anywhere with them.

American Airlines once lost 4 of our $500+ surfboards. All we got was a "sorry, but we cannot help you any further"

[buffalo hockey 0]

yeah thats all ive been getting from there is sorry

[All Torhs Team 0]

they must have opened your bag for them to fall out? no other way I can think of them getting loose.

unless you did forget them at the rink or something.

[buffalo hockey 0]

no they were in the skate pockets thats the first thing i put in my bag

[buffalo hockey 0]

are there any online sites that are having good deal on higher end skates dont have to be the 9ks

[KYHockey3 0]

in the paper here,

a family come back from their vacation to find the following is missing :

2 ipod nanos

psp

armani suit

jewellery worth $600 (approx.)

all they got from the airline was 'sorry'

all their original clothes was still there.

this is a one of a few ive heard from flyglobespan over the last few months.

Except we'd be sweating like pigs and they'd slice my gel packs on my Intake to see if I was carrying any flammable liquids. Business will go down the drain though. Soon they're going to ban laptops from planes, but they will get destroyed if they go down below with the rest of the luggage. Airlines are going to have to improvise, or else, bad things will happen.

In the US, you must be able to unlock it with a TSA master key and a lot of the baggage handlers have them as well. If you have expensive stuff, ship it FedEx or UPS.

It was never a must but it was reccomended although you are now not allowed to do it or take any luggage on a plane with you at all.

Not in the UK anyway.

[mack 44]

I can never find the TSA-approved locks so I just stick with using carabiners.
