Baggage issues claims
Checked baggage issue? MeClaims separates lost, delayed and damaged baggage claims under the Montreal Convention evidence rules. 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
International checked baggage claims often fall under the Montreal Convention. The strongest route depends on whether the baggage was lost, delayed or damaged.
Evidence to gather
Baggage tag, PIR reference, courier updates, damage photos, repair quote, receipts, card statements and the airline response should be kept together.
Common mistake
Airlines often ask for receipts only. Bank records, order histories, photos and contemporaneous messages can still help where receipts are missing.
How MeClaims handles it
- Checks the route, rule, contract or complaint path that applies.
- Turns scattered evidence into a structured claim record.
- Tracks next steps so the claim can move from intake to review and escalation.
