Word to wise: If you're going to World Cup '10, don't take South African Airways. Lost bags, theft, terrible customer service.6:00 AM Jul 5th from webMy rival soccer writer (actually, Grant has no rival) and I shared something in common. SAA lost, temporarily, all of our luggage. Didn't even make it onto the plane in Johannesburg. Grant says his got to him Thursday night, after our Wednesday morning arrival at Dulles. My lone bag didn't arrive until Friday. I had mine shrink-wrapped to prevent theft (they have these strange machines that wrap your luggage in plastic for about $7, an acknowledgment that the handlers can't be trusted), but that didn't stop somebody from trying to get at the outer pouch, which contained my priceless... toilet kit.
All was intact, but yeah, if the Disney travel gods allow it, I'm going with a different carrier next year.
