And I would agree, except that in this case, the problem wasn't with layovers or connections: their first plane had engine trouble and had to return to Salt Lake City. THAT was where Delta lost the bags, which then did not make it to Chicago in time to go with Team Australia to Germany.
In good news, Andrew tweeted a couple of hours ago that Delta had promised their bags would turn up in Munich at 11am today (local time). Let's hope they do!
I ll keep you posted if they show up for their first practice session
