We're back. We have no luggage. It got to Chicago, but didn't make it out again. The plane was too heavy and they took some off, though they didn't tell us about it.

I feel only slightly worse for the people with frozen fish from their trip to Alaska, all packed and good for "twenty hours." They aren't going to make it.

Solution to that: instead of making the announcement at the beginning of the flight, make it at the end. "If you don't see your checked baggage at the baggage claim facility, there is no need to panic. We were overweight and had to remove some bags before takeoff. Leave your name and address with the baggage claim office, and your bags will be delivered to you in the morning."

This assumes, of course, that they HAVE a handle on the problem and can get the bags delivered promptly the next day...

Big assumption.

But yes, the ground agent should have made that announcement when he announced which baggage claim carousel to wait at.

Right. Exactly.
