during your travel. One is, you might lose your luggage. So if this
happens, what will you do? Here are some tips for you!
- If you
lost your luggage, don’t panic immediately. If it’s not stole, it is
just there and really just lost. Most luggage that are lost (like 85% of
the luggage) arefound just 48 hours after it was gone. So if you lost
your luggage you can still wait for 2 days before it arrives. If it
didn’t come this is where you can ask authorities for help.
- If
ever that your luggage really can’t be found, there is still hope! Some
people make mistakes right? There are place for unclaimed luggage and
you may go there. Find a bag with a tag that really looks like yours.
Someone may have taken your luggage wrongly and instead of taking
theirs, they took yours. So better visit these places and check every
bag.
- Even though you are told by an authority that your luggage
will arrive sooner because it is in the next flight, you shouldn’t leave
just easy as that. It is still their mistake and they should be the one
to be responsible for it. So fill up a PIR or Property Irregularity
Report and report the incident.
- Do you know that you have some
advantages when your luggage is gone? Yes you have! There is what you
call “rights when luggage is delayed.” Read them so you will know what
you will compensate if they lost or delayed your luggage. Sometimes they
will provide you immediate supplies because of their mistakes. Other
airlines will give you cash due to this! On the other hand, there are
some airlines that will offer refund for some purchases so better keep
all of the receipts you have.
- On the previous tip, it is said
that you will be compensated for the lost and you can refund the
purchases you bought if your luggage is lost. However sometimes, not
full amount is returned, especially if your bag is seen!This is why you
should still limit your expenses for some essentials to avoid extra
purchases.
- What will happen if your luggage is really lost
forever? Well it is very disappointing to lose your luggage right? But,
the airlines should compensate for the lost! Within 7 days, they must
give you the right amount of money for the lost and for the damages they
committed.
