Darts duo Ross Smith & Chris Dobey suffer nightmare start to Baltic Sea Darts Open amid British Airways luggage blunder
DARTS stars Ross Smith and Chris Dobey have been left fuming after British Airways lost their luggage. The pair were left without their darts as their luggage was sent on a different flight out of Heathrow. 2 2 Smith and Dobey both travelled to Kiel, Germany, for the latest leg of the European Tour - the Baltic Sea Darts Open. But they were left frustrated after BA redirected their luggage and failed to communicate the change. Dobey fumed on X, writing: "No luggage once again, this time with British Airways. "No communication either about it being on another flight out of Heathrow either. "Great start to the weekend 🙈🙈" His colleague Smith was just as irritated, having encountered travel problems for the second time this season after having trouble checking in for a flight back from Munich. He tweeted: "No luggage, no representative for British Airways at Hamburg airport. No equipment or darts! "Great start to the European Tour this weekend. Hopefully British Airways can send my bag to the hotel asap." Smith faces Kim Huybrechts in today's opener at 12pm, while Dobey will be the last man on the oche at 9:30pm as he faces Dirk van Duijvenbode. SunSport has contacted British Airways for comment.
