Upon arrival to Incheon I went to the transfer desk to check about my suitcase. Info I got was that they can only inform me one hour before a flight to Nadi. I had three hours layover. I walked around the airport having fun with Korean folk performances.
On the boarding gate I checked about my suitcase. They informed me there is no record my suitcase is in Seoul. They promised to inform Paris I miss my luggage. I was somewhat irritated my suitcase is not on a plane with me - but what else can one do but to rationalize? My take at that moment was: there are three KAL flights to Nadi a week next being on Wednesday i.e by Wednesday I will have my suitcase at Kadavu. Not perfect but still OK.
In Nadi I went straight to the KAL office. I explained my suitcase is mishandled. The lady in the KAL office upon hearing my missing luggage story informed me the KAL staff is busy at the moment but if I wait about one hour someone will assist me.
I thanked her for response but explained after about 26 hours of flying I prefer a shower in the hotel to one hour waiting for KAL staff to be available. She picked up the phone. Good girl. Within few minutes a young man helped me to fill the claim for my missing suitcase.
I had to overnight in Nadi and asked the KAL ofice to call me at the hotel for the suitcase update i.e. if suitcase is found in Seoul or CDG. They said they will.
In Nadi was 30 degrees. I arrived there with more or less early spring clothes which felt uncomfortable in torpical climate. Thus after checking in the hotel I started to tick off things from my shopping list: flip flops, shorts, a swimsuit, some summer clothes, T-shirts etc.
After the shopping I went to the hotel room for a nap. This was around 5 pm. Next time I woke up was at 11. 30 in the evening. No one from KAL office called.
