  Always a hassle, sorry for you. If you have a bit time to spare, get some "emergency supplies" and stay in Porto for a day. If the pack shows up by tomorrow, you are good to go. If it does not or if you can not wait... thats the tricky bit...

  I'm sorry for your predicament. I had to deal with just such a scenario on my son's behalf just last week when KLM failed to load his pack at Dublin and it never showed up when he arrived in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. He couldn't get it sorted at his...

  I read this many years ago so I can only remember the basics of the story but here it is. A man hiking/climbing in the Andes gets in a terrible situation and needs help. He tries to call but he had let his minutes run out. Oops. His phone later...

  Sat under a space-blanket, hunkered in a hollow partially sheltered by a tumbled dry-stone wall that had once been an Iron-age steading, waiting for the rest of the rescue team to reach us through the mist and rain, I asked the rather plump...

  Have your wife and friends tried registering on the website instead of the app? I don't know if that's the answer, because like you, I created my account years ago, and don't remember needing to receive a text to activate it. But it could be...
