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:-
- Can you please drop the luggage to my hotel/hostel?
- What number should I call for updates on my missing bag?
- When can I expect an update from the airline about my missing bag?
- 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.
