Not My Day

So, I get to the airport yesterday at 10am for what I think is a 11am flight. I get to the check in desk, and there's no one around. I see on the flight list, that there is an outgoing flight at 9:30 and at 12:30, but nothing at 11am. So, I look back on my itinerary and realize that I was supposed to arrive in Phoenix at 11am, but my flight left at 9:30am!!!

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally call US Airways. They say that they'll notify the guy that I'm here and ask him to come out. He puts me on the 12:30 flight, but the only flight that I can make out of Phoenix is at 6:30, getting me into Kansas City at 10:23pm. I call Dad and explain, very embarrassed. But, clearly this is a sign that I'm under WAAAAAAYYY too much stress.

In Phoenix, I get a message from *A*. He was contacted (somehow) by some other airline in LA saying that they have my bag. He says that he gave them my cell number. So about 30 minutes later, I get a call from that airline asking me to come pick up my bag at LAX.

I go to my airline's consumer relation's desk and am told that I should wait until I get to Kansas City and fill out a missing baggage report there. Augh! I explain that since my bag is untagged (according to the other airline) and just sitting around, that they need to at least get in contact with them and get my bag in their possession. The woman gets the other airline to at least tag my bag, but that's it.

Then, my flight doesn't get in until 10:40, which was actually on time, the guy had just told me wrong. I still don't have my bag this morning. It was lost for awhile, but apparently will be coming in from Chicago in a couple of hours.

My airline doesn't want to give me any sort of compensation for this, and everyone I've spoken with has given me the run around and not been much help. I seriously may be done traveling back and forth to Kansas City.
