Anytime you go flying you know there’s a big possibility that your luggage won’t make it to its destination with you. And that’s mainly due to the fact that airlines are terrible at everything even while they overcharge you. Well recently, New York City’s JFK airport was the scene of a nightmare after last week’s East Coast blizzard halted a bunch of flights. And because of that there was a pile-up of suitcases — some of which didn’t even make its way back to their owner.
Check out this absurd photo of abandoned luggage.

Us, too, Michelle. Us too.
And even when flights resumed there was still a ton of suitcases unclaimed. Have a look:

And try not to get anxiety looking at this:
The baggage claim area @JFKairport – they’re just leaving ppls bags anywhere… You don’t know what flight they’re from and not one representative from @flysaa in sight. Ppl have been stranded in the airport for days with no vouchers for lodging, etc. pic.twitter.com/95VUy3jIGM

But don’t worry, some airlines had a helpline!

And for those folks that eventually got their luggage, well they got them back covered in snow.

Once again airlines have proved they are terrible at their job.
