A BBN Original
Lost Luggage
Two travel vloggers. One laminated itinerary. Every trip goes wrong.
Skye films everything and plans nothing; Howard plans everything and enjoys nothing. Together they run a small travel channel ("Lost Luggage") and visit a different real city or destination every episode, armed with Howard's laminated itinerary and Skye's phone on a stick. Every trip, the real place (its landmarks, food, customs, transport) collides with their plan and everything goes wrong.
Every episode
5 episodes, a minute or so eachThe cast

Skye
travel influencer, the face of the channel, 40,000 followers (she rounds up)
chaotic, fearless, sunny; films everything, narrates her own life to the phone ("Hi besties!"), turns every disaster into content, reads her comments out loud mid-crisis; never knows what city she is in until she checks her own post

Howard
the channel's planner, producer and accountant (unpaid)
anxious, decent, a cargo vest with 14 pockets; plans to the minute on a laminated itinerary, counts every coin, reads the guidebook aloud, has packed for every emergency except the one that happens

Mr. Feeney
the hotel clerk
dry, polite, unflappable; somehow the same man behind the desk in EVERY city they visit, with a different name tag and a local accent he clearly does not have; denies it every time ("I have never been to Lisbon. Welcome back.")

Dolores
a tour guide who has given the same tour for 31 years
exhausted, deadpan, encyclopedic; every fact delivered like a sigh; secretly a little fond of the two of them; raises her folded umbrella like a flag

the gate agent
an airline gate agent
polite, immovable, has heard every excuse; announces bad news with a smile

a local (man)
whoever the destination needs: a waiter, a cab driver, a vendor, a ferry captain (the writer names him and his job)
proud of his city, amused by tourists, always right about it

a local (woman)
whoever the destination needs: a shop owner, a park ranger, a barista, a grandmother (the writer names her and her job)
proud of her city, unimpressed by influencers, always right about it
Running gags to watch for
- Howard's laminated itinerary: down to the minute ("9:04 Marvel at fountain. 9:06 Leave.")
- the hotel clerk is the same man in every country, and denies it
- Skye reads her comments out loud at the worst moment
- Howard's cargo vest has a pocket for everything except the thing they need
- the luggage never arrives (the show's name); Howard is still wearing the same vest
- Dolores's tour facts get more tired as the day goes on
- Skye mispronounces the place; a local corrects her, she does it again
- Howard's laminated itinerary survives every disaster that nothing else does
