The initial items lost after my flight going to phoenix were all in the forms I sent above with all the docs and receipts for anything over 100 dollars. Alaskan airlines for some odd STUPID reason denied my claim and apparently the reason they told me were that is I forget to check the box that stated I had another baggage incident with another airline in the past not on purpose the process was just so long and growling to begin with but I looked up the laws and me not stating that a different claim from the past with a totally different airline happened which has absolutely NO RELEVANCE or have anything to do with them losing my belongings on that date above. totally irrelevant but that was there excuse for not wanting to pay what they owe for losing my belongings.

When I landed in seattle the baggage was no re-tagged. I had to wait 1.5hrs at the airport for them to find my luggage and almost missed my rental pick up time. I also spoke to an agent in the arrival's terminal prior to baggage claim and she noted that i w0uld get reimbursement due to the nature of the delays and that the next flight was 10hrs wait at time of landing which was not acceptable. Needing reimbursement for the last flight portion along with fees, baggage and my upgraded seat for 2nd flight I missed due to delays along with the rental bill and coverage insurance I needed to purchase.

We had 1 bag out of 5 that was missing. Luggage arrived the following day but as I have explained numerous times we went to retrieve it on Friday after I determined it was on the 2 o'clock flight from Seattle by looking on my Alaska app for luggage tracking. Please resolve this issue. I at the very least expect a credit of $46 for my bag and the points that the agent said we would be receiving was 5k on each account.

I was the told by baggage support that my bag was tagged under the wrong person name. I was then informed that my bag will be delivered to the house I am vacationing at that same day. Well that day came and gone the bag was not there I called the support number I was given multiple times and left voice mails to call me back. I never received my luggage or my call back that I asked for. It has now been 5 days without my luggage I am now back home after the vacation. I had to wear my same clothes for four days.

Upon our arrival to Seattle where ...

Upon our arrival to Seattle where we were supposed to pick up our bags and recheck them for our last flight with Alaska we were informed that the 4th bag was not on the flight and that it is being recovered and that it would come the next day. We filed a claim upon arriving to PDX and the bag was delivered the very next day. Upon inspecting the bag that was checked- one of the laches is broken and no longer closes and there are 2 rubber bases completely missing from the bag. The suitcase was brand new and purchased in Bishkek right before traveling- we would like a brand new suit case or reimbursement for the damaged bag that we can no longer use for traveling.
