Eileen Cha, a 65-year-old Hong Kong television host, recently voiced her dissatisfaction with the efficiency of baggage collection at the Hong Kong International Airport.
Her social media post detailed her frustration with what she perceived as an uncharacteristic delay during her return from Kuala Lumpur.
While waiting in line at airports is a common part of the travel experience, Cha found the wait for her luggage to be intolerable.
In a post on social media, she expressed her dismay, stating that she “can’t believe it!” slamming the level of efficiency and added that her flight arrived at 9.19pm and that “it’s now 9.37pm and I haven’t seen my luggage!”
For Eileen Cha, the 20-minute delay at the baggage collection point was evidently too long, prompting her to emphasize her dissatisfaction by concluding her post with the hashtag “#soslow.”
Slammed for being self entitled
Netizens took to her Facebook post to comment on her perceived self-entitledment, with some netizens calling her unreasonable.
One netizen asked her “you think you are taking a private plane?” as they pointed out that she took AirAsia.
Other netizens commented and told her that if she was in such a hurry, perhaps she could simply climb onto the luggage conveyor belt and retrieve her luggage herself instead.
Other netizens added that in some airports, they had to wait between half an hour to more than an hour for their baggage, and told her to stop complaining.
Conclusion
As of now, there has been no official response from the Hong Kong International Airport regarding Eileen Cha’s specific experience. Delays in baggage collection are not uncommon, and factors such as increased air traffic, technical issues, or security measures can contribute to such occurrences.
It remains to be seen whether Eileen’s social media post will prompt any changes or responses from the airport authorities. Travelers often use social media platforms to share their experiences, both positive and negative, providing insights into the real-time challenges faced during their journeys.
