Woman dishes warning to travellers

According to her, the elderly woman was travelling alone without assistance. When it was her turn for her luggage to be checked, she noticed that they ignored her and were attending to others but she kept her cool.

She revealed that she was with the elderly woman when they got to London and they waited for their luggage together.

When it arrived, the elderly woman took her three luggage but a man approached her claiming that she had more than three luggage.

The woman was sure that she boarded with three but he insisted that she had fourth luggage.

During the back-and-forth, she said that she told the elderly woman to bring out her boarding pass, and after checking her boarding pass, she realised the elderly woman had only three luggage.

The official still insisted that she had a fourth luggage. He brought out his phone and showed her an image of the tag of the fourth luggage.

The fourth luggage had just the woman’s surname and it was not added to her boarding pass.

The woman revealed that when the fourth luggage arrived, she realised that it was the luggage that the Abuja airport officials were attending to when it got to her turn.

She advised all travellers to be careful while travelling so they don't attach any luggage that doesn't belong to them to their name.

She captioned the video:

“This happened on Friday the 8th of March on a British Airways flight from Abuja to London.

"It's important that we educate our parents when they are travelling alone and require airport assistance.”
