However, Basel’s fashion designer does not want to be defeated, but tells Blue News: “Now get creative and find clothes and make-up in a way.”

He knows some of the designers that this time were represented by shows at Berlin Fashion Week. “But I know how I am. Right before a show, you’re under a lot of pressure and you don’t want to have to organize clothes for a colleague whose bag hasn’t arrived.”

“On presentation of the relevant purchase receipts, we also provide our customers with further refunds in excess of these published indicative amounts, depending on the case,” the airline wrote.

The Swiss: “We would like to expand our goodwill.”

However, the Swiss website clearly states: “Maximum Economy Refund: $100”. The airline has pointed this out to me several times. just like The Observer magazine In my case I called the airline, they relented.
