Airline torches woman’s baggage

Did your airline lose your luggage recently? Relax, it could be worse. Just ask Barbara Blewitt.

When she arrived in Atlantic City recently on a Spirit Airlines flight, she was shocked at what she found: When her luggage materialized, it was burned, including everything inside.

“I had no clothes, no underwear, no cosmetics, nothing but a burned suitcase,” Blewitt tells Tampa Bay’s 10 News.

The airline reportedly issued Blewitt a “baggage irregularity receipt,” but she has yet to receive compensation. Spirit Airlines tells the television channel that it is looking further into the matter. It is still unclear how this might have happened.

Asks Blewitt, “How do I know how good your plane is if you can’t even take care of my luggage, or at least say I’m sorry.” A fair question.
