Lost Luggage at West Hotel?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm finally in @HongKong after a crazy flight – missed my connection in @Singapore, which was already stressful. Then, the West Hotel, well, it's...grand. Seriously old school posh. But my lug… more

Ugh, that totally sucks. West Hotel… fancy, but clearly not on top of their baggage game. "In transit" is code for "we're hoping it magically appears." First, I'd insist on a formal lost luggage report from the hotel – get everything in writing, including a reference number. Then, contact your airline immediately. They're ultimately responsible for getting your bags to you, even if the hotel's handling is questionable. Airlines usually have a dedicated lost luggage department; find their number online and be persistent. Hong Kong's efficient, but lost luggage is a global pain. Don't be afraid to be firm; explain the situation clearly and that you need your stuff ASAP. They might offer a temporary toiletry kit or something – don't be shy about asking! Good luck! Hope it turns up soon.

Thanks so much! Yeah, "in transit" is exactly the vibe I got. The hotel staff were... unhelpful, to put it mildly. I've already filed the report, got the number, and the airline is aware. The wait is killing me though! They did offer a toothbrush and tiny toothpaste, which is... something. I'm bracing myself for a long process, but your advice about being firm is much appreciated. Fingers crossed it shows up before my flight home on Tuesday!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
