Delayed baggage compensation
Claim reasonable essentials bought while your checked baggage was delayed. 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
Delayed baggage claims depend on the delay length, what you had to buy and whether the purchases were reasonable for the trip.
Evidence to gather
Keep receipts, card statements, airline tracking messages and the date the bag was returned.
Common mistake
The written complaint deadline can be short. Do not wait until memories and receipts are lost.
How MeClaims handles it
