Traveling from a sunny state to a Polish border town is quite an adventure: with three huge bags of medical supplies, I left SFO on the plane to JFK (New York). From New York, I had to transfer to a Polish airlines plane flying to Warsaw. The flight was about 8 hours, it was quite comfortable, but the jet lag showed up at the Warsaw Chopin airport. I was falling asleep literally on the go, and by the time I transferred to the next plane ( it was only 1 hour overlay) I had to activate all the reserves in order to get to the gate. My last flight was from Warsaw to Rzeszow, which lasted less than an hour. It would seem that the most difficult part was behind me, but no… they forgot to transfer my luggage, precious medicines and turnstiles to the plane from New York to Poland. The worst thing to do after a transatlantic flight is filling out paperwork for lost luggage. But bad experience is also an experience, so now I know how to get my lost luggage back after a flight with numerous transfers.
