Passenger with Luggage

Baggage complaints

If your luggage has been lost, damaged or delayed, here’s a quick guide on what you can do and how to start your baggage complaint.

 

If you notice an issue with your luggage:

You must report the fact that your luggage has been lost, delayed or damaged at the airport and keep a copy of the Property Irregularity Report, which staff of the airline should then complete.

For lost or stolen items, or damaged baggage

To make a claim you must contact the airline in writing:

  • Within 7 days 

You will have to demonstrate that your bag and its contents were worth the amount you are claiming by using receipts, credit card records or any other proof of value.

Airlines also do not allow for “new for old” replacement when considering the value of your claim. They will look at the value of the item based on its age when lost.

For delayed bags

To make a claim you must contact the airline in writing:

  • Within 21 days from receiving the delayed bag

Make sure to label your luggage! (Include your name, address and email address on the inside of the baggage in case the tags on the outside are lost.)

If your airline, or the airport/s you used, have refused, ignored, or otherwise left you unsatisfied after you made a complaint to them, you can escalate matters for FREE with AviationADR.
