The exceptions to this is when i go to casinos, and when we go to some vacation resorts. I have yet to be helped with my bags while in Europe. Atleast by the hotel. I always use the same private hire cab driver in London and he comes and gets my bags from the hotel room when leaving and brings them up when arriving! His name is Mike. Though I don't think it is his real name. He is an arab looking guy.
Probably just as well. In Norway three of us (the only travelers) checked our bags in at the SAS desk in the hotel lobby. They lost our bags between the desk and the airport bus. We saw bags loaded on the bus and knew ours didn't make it. Didn't care because we were going home. They were delivered several days later.
