Ugh, that's the worst! CSMIA can be a nightmare even when everything goes right. Forget the magical luggage fairy – there's a Lost & Found office, but expect a wait. Head to the information counter; they'll point you in the right direction. Get a reference number for your report, take lots of pictures of your baggage tag, and file a detailed report including everything in your suitcase. Then, contact your airline – they should be able to help track it down, possibly offering compensation for essentials while you wait. It's a pain, I know. Good luck! Seriously, grab some chai to calm your nerves... you'll need it.
