Act smart if your luggage is lost

Incidents of lost luggage in flights doesn’t happen very often. But it does happen occasionally. So, whether you are an international student travelling alone or a family with kids (on Egypt holiday packages);instead of feeling lost, take smart actions right away.

  • Stay calm.
  • Immediately, go to the baggage claim office of the airlines and file a report. Some airlines will reimburse your checked baggage fees once your luggage is delayed at least 12 hours after submitting the claim.
  • If you are taking multiple flights, you have to report to the airline whose flight you took last. Here are some important questions to ask:-
  1. Can you please drop the luggage to my hotel/hostel?
  2. What number should I call for updates on my missing bag?
  3. When can I expect an update from the airline about my missing bag?
  4. If my bag is found, will your company pay to have the luggage delivered to me at my hostel/hotel?
  • Don't forget to get your claim number and a copy of the missing baggage report.
  • Keep receipts of expenses made on essentials for reimbursement by the airlines.
  • Check your credit card benefits.
  • Consider travel insurance claim and sometimes even homeowner’s insurance claim covers. Professional agents such as White Magic Travels will insist that you buy a travel insurance while booking Auckland holiday packages.
  • Take photos of your luggage and the contents before taking Cancun holiday packages.
  • If you don’t receive your luggage after a stipulated number of days, you have to make a claim.
  • If the luggage is returned to you, check for any damage or missing items. If so, you have to make another claim.

Always keep the valuables like camera, money, electronics & essentials like chargers, medicines, toiletries, with you on any kind of trip (say, New York holiday package). The most important thing is not to panic.
