DARTS star Ross Smith launched into a furious rant after losing his luggage at the airport while travelling to the Baltic Open.
But it could be a good omen for The Smudger after the same thing happened to Gerwyn Price last week.
Ross Smith launched into a furious rant after losing his luggage at the airport
Price sealed an incredible Poland Darts Masters title last Sunday, despite losing his case and brand new set of arrows on the flight over.
And history has repeated itself, as Smith arrived at Hamburg Airport on Friday to his luggage missing from the baggage claim conveyer belt.
But the world No.15 is due to play either Kim Huybrechts or Ian White at Saturday lunchtime WITHOUT a set of darts to throw.
Smith, 36, raged on X: “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 .”
Darts are a prohibited sharp object in hand luggage when flying, meaning they must be packed in checked baggage.
The Baltic Open will be held at the Wunderino Arena in Kiel from July 11-13.
So Smith has under 24 hours to find himself some new clothes, throws and sun cream.

Reigning champion Rob Cross will open his defence against Raymond van Barneveld or Andy Baetens, headlining the 48-player field.
No 1 Luke Humphries and Nathan Aspinall – a two-time winner on the European Tour in 2025 – will also compete this weekend.
Friday’s first round will feature 16 matches across two sessions, with the second round continuing into Saturday.
Before Smith and Co. do their walkouts on Saturday afternoon.
Smith memorably threw his darts into the Ally Pally crowd following shock defeat to Paolo Nebrida in the World Championship last year.
