A lecturer from Kolkata in India has lodged a police complaint after airline authorities failed to trace her missing baggage in over one and a half months. She lost her baggage on a Lufthansa flight from New York via Frankfurt to her home city at the start of June.

What would happen to the legal system and the police's ability to work if everyone complained about lost bags? She, like everyone else should have read the small print - there's only so much compensation they are legally obliged to pay out.
