2013 September Long Trip - Sydney

Long Trip - Day 21 Long day in Sydney

I woke up after 3am to check in with Emirates. Qantas booked me the morning flight to Dubai and another flight to Dusseldorf the following day. Another night at the airport but closer to Germany.
Before check in I decided to ask at the service desk about my baggage. I wanted to make sure that I am on the list.
I wasn't........ they stopped the plane for a while as they promised me that I would be on the plane. In the meantime I was informed that they lost my baggage.
It was good an exercise for them as they spotted that when Qantas books a seat, it does not appear in Emirates system. However, it wasn't funny for me.
They almost printed a boarding card for me for the flight to Dubai but they couldn't print it for my flight to DUS.
As I'm from Poland I needed a visa to Dubai soo.... I stayed in Sydney and Emirates told me to contact Qantas.
It was enough for me especially when some people from Qantas weren't nice and suggested it was my fault.
At the end, one supervisor took care of me and my baggage. He booked me the Qantas flight to London and next day from London to Dusseldorf. I received a voucher 20 aud for breakfast and he promised me that everything should have been ok.
Of course, they were still looking for my baggage but they didn't ask to fill any form.

I went to Sydney as the weather was perfect - it was a sunny day and I had 8 hours to my flight.

When I returned to the airport I checked in with Qantas and received all boarding cards. Once I asked they gave me another voucher for my lunch, 20 aud.
They didn't find my baggage. 
A new supervisor told me that I should have filled in a form for my missing baggage but I was told not to worry and eventually to do it in Dusseldorf. 
He said that once the form was done, information appears on the system and if any scanner scans it it would automatically pop up.
So I boarded the plane aware I had no luggage.

So I am on the way to Germany on A380 -800. So far on the way.
