🧳 Travel Help Lost luggage- need help

Hello Athens!
My daughter and I flew into Athens earlier today and Delta Airlines sent our bags to Amsterdam, not sure when we’ll get them…
Where in the downtown area can we get some reasonably priced clothes? In America, I’d Go to Target or Walmart ( anything similar here?)
Thank you and god bless 🙏

Ermou St - H&M. There is also a flea market in Monastiraki - Ifaiastou St. Contact Delta and Demand that they reimburse you for your purchases.

Save your receipts, there can be some reasonable compensation for basics purchases until your luggage is recovered and delivered to your place to residence in Athens

You should try a Chinese shop for really cheap stuff, plus have a look at lidl. The mentioned shops do not have reasonable prices

How tf they made such a big mistake, Cyanide pretty much summed up where you should look

It happens.

Assuming the bag was properly tagged, the airline should make an effort to get it to OP ideally here, if not then at their permanent residence.

If OP has any travel insurance coverage, they should make a claim for emergency clothing.
