Stranded, sans baggage, at airport!

Kolkata: Passengers of a delayed Air Deccan Delhi-Kolkata flight were at the receiving end when they discovered on landing here at 2.30 am on Sunday that their luggage had not been loaded on the same flight.
When the 171 bewildered passengers of Flight DN702 ran into unhelpful staff they filed a complaint at the airport police station.
Flight DN702 was scheduled to fly from the capital at 8.20 pm last evening. Instead, the passengers had to spend a harrowing four hours before the flight ultimately took off at 12.20 am and reached Kolkata at 2.30 am. On landing the Air Deccan officials announced that not a single luggage had been boarded.
The passengers were irritated when the officials failed to give a satisfactory reply. They merely said, “You will come to know when the luggage arrives. There is nothing to get so worried.”
“When a police sub-inspector gave the officials a warning over the phone, they relented and told us that they would arrange for getting our luggage as soon as possible. But the problem is that no Air Deccan flight from Delhi to Kolkata is scheduled for today and hence nothing can be said about when our luggage will arrive. This is highly inconvenient,” Ajay Agarwal, one of the passengers, said.
