How did the bags ger switched in the first place?


Did both women grab the wrong bag?

Or were they switched on purpose?

Forgive the question, I read through all the posts and don't see the answer.

I can see one person grabbing the wrong bag, but both?

they were apparently identical bags (since both the wife and Harrison Ford tried the keys several times). I imagine the flight from San Francisco is very long and the wife in the beginning was practically dead asleep in the cab on the way to the hotel. I assume Michelle was also mostly asleep (and it probably was not actually her suitcase since she was smuggling).

No, Michelle was likely high or coming down.

except the Walkers' bag was supposed to have their name and hotel name on a tag.
