Baggage
Lost baggage claim: delayed, damaged, or missing bags after a flight
Baggage searches explode at carousel 4. Delayed bag, damaged zipper, or a bag that never arrives are different claims. All of them start with the airport property-irregularity report, not a tweet.
the PIR number is the whole case until it isn’t
File at the airport, then keep the paper
Get the PIR / file reference before you leave the airport. Photograph the bag tag, the damage, and anything you had to buy because the bag is missing.
Deadlines for baggage issues can be short. Waiting “to see if it shows up Monday” is how claims go cold.
Then map the next email
Choose baggage issue in the scan. The $19 report is a rights map and evidence checklist — not a promise the airline will pay a round number.
My bag was delayed but arrived the next day. Still worth checking?
Yes, if you spent money on essentials or missed something time-sensitive. Keep receipts either way.
Do you file the baggage claim for me?
No. We help you understand the likely path and organize what to send. You stay in control.
