Is there any time limit or deadline for me to make a claim?


Category: Luggage stolen

As stated by the Department of Transportation, each individual airline are responsible for the security and management of your suitcases and bags.

Therefore, if your luggage is stolen you must report it to the airline you are traveling with. To do this, you need to make a full list of what you've lost, including items in your bag and the bag itself. You'll then be given a reference number so you can track the status of your lost luggage by phone or online. If your bag is officially declared lost, the airline staff will use the information you provided to estimate the value of your lost belongings. They may require the sales receipts for items valued more than others, like over $100. However they may not compensate for them with their original price or the replacement cost. Instead, like insurance companies, they consider the depreciated value of your possessions. If your flight was a connection involving two carries, the final carrier is normally the one responsible for processing your claim. Passengers should notify the airline of lost baggage or stolen items from baggage within 21- 45 days of the corresponding flight.
