My experience with this airline and understanding. Is the flight with Air Berlin to Liberia, Costa Rica is a new flight. Which is only about a month old, which hasn't completely worked out all the kinks.

I flew from Vienna, Austria with connecting flights with Airberlin in Dusseldorf and Cancun and finally to my destination. My baggage has been lost for 13 days as of today.

Well the customer service is utterly pathetic and constantly shift you from one person to another. From e-mails daily on there complaints section on the web. To phone calls they doesn't seem to have an organized way of dealing with lost baggage.

My baggage was located 6 days ago. It was found at JFK airport. After four days I e-mailed them to ask where it was. The baggage had managed to become lost again between connecting flights from JFk to Miami and finally to San Jose, CR.

They never bothered to e-mail me or phone me to tell me of this. Well after e-mailing them that evening with a detailed description of the bag. Did they e-mail me the following morning and tell me that had located the bag.

Of course not with out having to phone one man who then passed me on to another with the English vocabulary of a six year old. So not going to say a bad airline...although I still wait for my baggage.

But maybe international overseas flights is just not there thing and should stick with the domestic or regional areas of Europe.
