My sympathies. I had a similar experience in the summer. Lufthansa lost my bag at Heathrow. Two weeks later (after my calling them everyday) they found it and sent it to Doha. I called Qatar Airways for a week. No, they said we do not have it (you have to call 100 times for very time they answer the phone). I called Lufthansa, they were not interested as they said they had sent it to Doha.

In frustration I searched the website and called the aviation manager at Qatar Airways baggage service. His secretary (filipana thank God) then gave me the cell phone number of someone who worked in the baggage department. I called him and he said it was there and that I could come and get it. I went to the airport into the baggage room and there it was. It had a huge label on it that said "urgent call Richard .... on ..". The bag had been there for a week and no one had called me.

My advice to you is to call the airline a lot and make their lives miserable enough for them to really get you off their backs by finding your luggage.
