My lost luggage with Flixbus currently
2 days ago, I took the bus from Seville to Albufeira, supposed to transfer to another bus to Porto. When I alighted at Albufeira and I wanted to collect my luggage, the driver refused to let me take my luggage, despite me showing my Flixbus app that I am heading to Porto afterwards. I am not sure if I heard him correctly, saying to me not to take my luggage and wait for the bus later.
I was stupid enough to believe him and left my luggage in that bus route 1794, bound for Lagos. I had a Smart Tag tracker in the luggage, so till now, it is at Kron Auto Sevilla. However, I don't have the time to make back to Seville, as I am currently in Porto and I will be heading to Lisbon today.
To continue on the story from Albufeira bus station, I waited and waited. When the bus 1010 came, I checked the bus luggage compartment and didn't see my luggage, so I didn't board the bus, as my tracker showed that it was still at Lagos. The driver had lied to me that the bus route 1794 and 1010 would be the same. Maybe we were not talking about the same thing during that short conversation, as that driver's understanding of English was limited.
So now, I don't know what I should do. I will depart from Lisbon on 4th Jul, back to my home country. Should I book a bus from Lisbon to Seville, just to retrieve back my luggage and then back to Lisbon again? Or just forgo my luggage. The luggage consists of my clothes, toiletries some Zara and Pull & Bear clothes that I got from Spain. So during the time when I lost my luggage 2 days ago, I had to rush to buy new set of clothes and basic toiletries, as the only clothes I had were what I was wearing, but thankfully, my passport and all valuables were in my backpack together with me when I alighted at Albufeira Bus Station.
Any advice? Will appreciate a lot. Thanks.
