It's one of the worst feelings in the world: Suddenly realizing you've left something valuable behind. In my case, it was my work laptop — and that sinking feeling set in when I realized it wasn't in my backpack when I got home from a recent flight from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
I quickly realized I had stowed it away in the seat pocket on my Delta Air Lines flight to New York's LaGuardia Airport (LGA). Ugh.
So instead of calling my company, I called Delta customer service. I had a super helpful agent who told me he was sending a message to the ground staff at LGA to be on the lookout for my laptop. He suggested I also open a lost item report file at Delta's Lost and Found website.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
