I just got back from a trip in Europe, and had the misfortune of flying Spanair. We were f;ying from Marsaille to Malaga through Barcelona on a Friday. The flight to Barleona arrived about on time, and we then expected a 3 to 4 hour wait for our connection. Because of heavy rain in Barcelona, the wait became about 6 hours. We verified that our luggage was checked through so we settled in and took our flight to Malaga. Our luggage did not get on the flight, along with the luggage of about 15-20 others. We were told the luggage would be on the next morning's flight, either at 8:15 or 11:30 and we could either have it delivered or pick it up at the airport. Needless to say it was on neither flight, with the explaination that they were concerned about weight. We weree getting on a cruise that afternoon so we tried to get them to send it to one of the Spanish ports or Lisbon, which they said they could do if we were going to be in port for two days. Well, to cut this short they did not do anything over the weekend, were totaly non-responsive, and then sent the bags to Malaga on Monday for us to pick up. We managed to get them to send the bags back to Barcelona at the end of our cruise.
