I'm the first to get to the baggage reclaim belt, the display says its another five minutes until our bags arrive. There is already a few bags going around, looking alone and unloved. "Short connection", says one, "AMS, HEL". "XYZ, SOF" says another. What kind of an airport is "XYZ"? That should never have come to Amsterdam anyway. "ORL, AMS, BKK" another. Someones going to have a depressing start to their holiday in Thailand. After three changes I guess they shouldn't be surprised it goes awry somewhere along the way - but the lack of a "Short connection" tag suggests they'll have been travelling nearly 24 hours before they find out. Poor things. Mine is the fifth new bag onto the belt, I'm lucky this time.
