What it could be worth
International baggage liability is capped, but strong evidence can support claims worth hundreds of pounds.

Lost luggage compensation
Lost luggage after a flight? Start a baggage claim under the Montreal Convention. Receipts help, but are not always essential. 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
A bag is often treated as lost after 21 days, but you should report and preserve evidence from day one.
Evidence to gather
PIR report, baggage tag, booking confirmation, photos of the bag, receipts, bank statements and order histories can help.
Common mistake
Leaving the airport without reporting the missing bag makes the claim harder. Start with the PIR where possible.

- Checks the route, rule, contract or complaint path that applies.
