delayed luggage cost me $150 in uber rides

Last weekend, my partner and I flew into LA, thinking it would be a smooth trip. But her suitcase ended up at the wrong airport—classic, right? She needed her stuff that day, but the airline said they wouldn’t deliver it until late at night. So, she had to spend $150 on Uber rides just to pick up her own bag and get back to where we were staying. Honestly, that’s a chunk of change, especially after a long flight. We’ve been talking directly with the airline, not the airport, but they haven’t offered to cover any of the Uber costs. Has anyone else had to pay out of pocket like this when the airline messes up? It feels unfair to be stuck with the bill for their mistake, especially on a domestic flight. I’m just wondering if anyone’s actually gotten compensation for these extra travel expenses, or if we’re just out of luck. I can’t be the only one frustrated by this. #travelproblems #luggagewoes #airlinestories #Travel
