We were not given the option to exit the plane before other passengers even though we had a connecting flight leaving from Amsterdam to JRO in an hour. I believe this is the reason that our luggage did not make it to JRO for 3 days. There was not enough time for them to remove our luggage and place it on the plane leaving for JRO.
