Hello JFK Terminal 1,

I understand that there are many bags missing from flights that left JFK in the last week due to the snow storm.

I flew from JFK to London (Gatwick) yesterday and arrived in London this morning. My flight number was DY 7016. My bag did not arrive at Gatwick. I have submitted a claim with Norwegian, but no one has been able to tell me the status of my bag. I am a bit concerned that the bag is not being tracked, and I am hoping that it will arrive in London in the next day or two.

Is there any way to know where my bag is, and when it might arrive? I am leaving for Rwanda in East Africa on Sunday (Jan 14) and will be working from a rural village there for 3 months that is difficult to access. If I do not receive my bag before my flight leaves on Sunday, I will need to rebook my flight to Rwanda which will cost around $1000 and delay the work that I am to be leading while there.

My bag is a large, soft, very bright purple suitcase. It has a tag from Turkish Airlines on the handle with my name. You can email the email address on that label once finding the suitcase.

Please let me know if there is anything you can do for me, as my situation is probably a bit more urgent than others. Thank you so much for your help.

I checked in for a flight from JFK to CDG France on December 17th (flight number 009 - 10.50 PM) and my luggage never arrived in Paris. It is a Delsey luggage (brown) with a red heart on the belt. I have a luggage tag but apprently was never scanned by Air France

I checked in terminal 1 around 7 PM it was the on left counters just closed to restrooms. Is it possible to see on cameras where the luggage did go ?

I opened a ticket at Air France for lost items but they have not been able to find my item so far. Does anyone got the Air France number at JFK? Is there any way to contact JFK lost luggage service (they are not answering my calls)?

Thank you

Hello,
I left my MacBook Pro charging at the charging station outside gate 3 in terminal one. The laptop is in a hard marble case with various stickers on it - a ucla one, an artsy fartsy one, etc. It was left on top of a black ucla case, plugged in and charging.

Please please contact me if you have seen it or turned it in somewhere
Thank you very much,

Hi. I arrived on a flight from israel yesterday evening and my luggage never arrived, or was taken mistakenly by someone else. There was a VERY similar suitcase that was unclaimed, however it wasn't mine. If ANYONE seeing this can help I would be very grateful! I am here with 8 children on vacation and unable to leave as I am waiting for a call with information and have nothing but the clothing I arrived in! Please contact me

A man spilled an entire cup of coffee at gate six in terminal one, JFK airport New York. There was a flight about to board for Moscow flight crew at the front desk were notified of this spill before the flight even began boarding. Attendants refused to even call to report this spill. This was an extreme slip hazard. I asked the attendant several times to report it and was told that "it was not her priority". See attached pictures.

Customer safety should be of paramount importance. This is disgraceful.

As I sit here now waiting for my flight it has been well over an hour and still no one has cleaned up the spill.
