True, but I'm out $400 and the luggage went to a different airport, so I gotta try.

If that doesn't work go to Swiss.com go to contact and click on the complaint section. Pretty straight forward.

@ mnm: don't expect serious refunds.

In first I did not receive my meal and got 5000 miles of m&m (probably no relation to you), and for someone else I complained where they made a huge huge mistake, they gave a €100 voucher on name to be used in the year, excl by swiss online/phone.
My chavrusa got a blanket as a compensation sent to him...

well they get 200$ automatically for the delayed luggage- as per swiss online site. anything else is just a bonus. and worth a shot- they were 5 pple.. who knows
