emirates lost my daughter’s luggage and won’t help

My daughter finally came home to New York after two years in Indonesia, and we were so excited to have her back. She flew Emirates with two big suitcases—one made it, but the other just vanished. That missing bag had almost everything she owned from her time abroad: clothes, electronics, little gifts, and all those irreplaceable keepsakes you collect when you live far from home. We did everything by the book—filed a claim at the airport, called Emirates, sent emails, you name it. But all we get is the same runaround: “Check the website,” “Call the baggage line.” Each one just sends us back to the other, and nobody actually tells us anything useful. It’s been months now. Not a single real update, no offer to help, and definitely no compensation, even though I know there are rules for this kind of thing. I’m honestly at my wit’s end. Has anyone else had their luggage go missing for months with Emirates—or any airline—and actually gotten it back? Did you have to threaten legal action, or go public to get them to pay attention? I’m starting to wonder if that’s the only way to get results. I feel like we’re just shouting into the void here, and it’s so frustrating when you follow all the steps and still get nowhere. If you’ve been through this, what finally worked for you? #lostluggage #emiratesairlines #travelproblems #Travel
