Cleveland Hopkins CLE Comments

  •  

    Some passengers feel that Cleveland Airport is a great airport to choose if you need to transfer to other destinations; they also think that it isn't crowded, it's clean, bright and has a good selection of food & drink establishments. As to shops, food & drink, we learn that the Airmall contains a good number of concessions which now guarantee to charge regular mall prices, with more such concessions to follow. While one passenger points out the location of Continental's President's Club, another explains the three information sources available at CLE.

     

  • continental gave my bag to wrong person

     

    Continental baggage claim told me that my bag was there... I went to airport and they had given it to the wrong person and now refuse to help me. What can i do?

     

  • lost luggage

     

    My baggage went to Cleveland without me because I got re-routed because of delays. I was assured my bag was going with me. When I reached Pasco, WA, no bag. They say most are returned within 24 hours. I have heard nothing and have no way to talk to a live person. I see there are flights leaving Cleveland to Denver, then to Pasco, so why isn't my bag here yet? Who can I talk to? The tracking number is a recording.

    BAA Cleveland is the authorized company at Cleveland Hopkins to develop its retail and food & drink concessions. The innovative 'Airmall' will include a selection of local, regional and national brands with guaranteed regular mall prices. So far 30 concessions are in place and 'Cuban Crafters', a cigar store, will soon be joining.
