Rare Shippy Posted September 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Leaving in less than 2 days for our Sunday cruise. Just pulled out the suitcases to start to pack I am OLD and find the medium checkin to work fine. I also bring a carryon. Anyway....ZIPPER IS BROKEN on the medium checkin bag. Cannot believe it. That leaves the large one that is really big. Our fight out of Fort Lauderdale when we return is at 11:48am I have read conflicting times about using the luggage valet service, which would help me immensely. I have read your flight has to be either later than 11:30am or 1pm. If after 1pm I am stuck. Does anyone know what the rules for using this service currently is. We will be on America Airlines thank so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Shippy Posted September 5, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted September 5, 2018 11:30am from Ft. Lauderdale. You should be fine. Have a great trip! Thank you so much. This bigger bag is more than I need & harder for me to maneuver...arthritis. But with the luggage valet it will be great. Guess I can just by more souvenirs ! I usually start to pack a week before & would have discovered this problem in time to get a new one. Now just have to hope the airline does not move the flight time up. Bad luck about the suitcase but great luck about the timing of the flight & the service :O) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted September 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 5, 2018 If you really like the bag you might look at replacement zipper pulls on Amazon. Won't help for this trip but might salvage for another. We tend to lose the pull tab but the zipper itself is fine. Keyring from car service (or a paper clip) makes a good replacement. Airline actually bent the keyring last time and it is pretty tough steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jspang Posted September 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2018 We did the Oasis in June and had a Noon flight. There was 8 of us and we used the luggage valet and it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not worth what it would cost to fix When we return, I will go to my favorite luggage haunts & find something new & fabulous.....
