I have to go home without my luggage. What should I do?
'Comporto' — 'com-POR-to'. Three syllables; stress on second. From 'comportarsi' (to behave/proceed).
Ask the airline agent when your bag has not been located by the time you must fly home, to understand the next steps for having it forwarded.
'Come mi comporto' means 'how should I behave/proceed'. 'Senza bagaglio' means 'without luggage'. When departing without your bag, the airline updates your file with your home address for delivery.
Il bagaglio può essere mandato al mio indirizzo di casa?
Can the luggage be sent to my home address?

Gets follow-up contact for when you are back home.
When luggage is found after a passenger has returned home, Italian airlines arrange international courier delivery (typically DHL or FedEx) at no extra cost. The bag is usually delivered within 3–7 working days. Customs implications depend on the country of residence.
