Airline baggage claims
Start an airline baggage claim for lost, delayed or damaged checked luggage. Baggage pages focus on the Montreal Convention evidence that airlines normally ask for: PIR, bag tag, value evidence, receipts and proof of delay or damage.

When this can qualify
The Montreal Convention covers many international baggage journeys. Domestic rules and airline policies may also matter.
Evidence to gather
Baggage tag, PIR reference, photos, repair quotes, receipts and airline messages are the core documents.
