Before You Lose Your Luggage
Snap of your bags
Having a digital camera with you on trip? Take a snap of your bags and leave it on your camera.
Go for Travel Insurance
Consider purchasing travel insurance to cover lost luggage. But airlines eventually pay up; travel insurance companies often can also help in tracking the lost luggage and getting you money to replace items more quickly.
After You Lose Your Luggage
First things:
Make sure that who lost your bag know so. Inform the carrier or its agents of the loss. Take the receipt you were given when you checked in to the lost luggage desk, which ought to give you a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) to fill out. Keep a copy of all the documentation for later, when you'll be photocopying it and stuffing it into an envelope to accompany your letter of complaint.
Few airlines will give you an insufficient amount of cash immediately
But if you want compensation for the inconvenience, get typing note: you need to make your claim in letters within 21 days for delayed baggage. For luggage that is lost altogether you'll have to wait until 21 days have passed before writing again.
Don't wait for the airline to be over kind
If you have travel insurance, the insurance agency should cover the rest. Check your agreement with insurance agency before you travel.
If your bag has been swipe from the carousel by other, the airline is not formally guilty for it, but its value making it known to the ground agent anyway. In most cases, the passenger that picked it up will return it and it will then be sent on to you. Don't pick up someone else's bag on purpose as payoff – there's no telling what humiliating items you may then have to explain to curious customs officials at some later point.
Few ways to reduce the threat of lost or delayed luggage
One is to check before, giving your bag ample of time to make it from the check-in desk to the aircraft. Another is to purchase you a brightly colored bag that avoids... a case of wrong identity. Don't forget your identity – that won't hurt, either.
