Flight baggage problems: Your rights in the event of delay, damage or loss
Has your baggage been damaged, delivered late or even lost? Then claims under the Montreal Convention come into consideration.
Submit a request for conciliation
You can submit your conciliation request conveniently online here – not only for air travel but also for rail, long-distance bus, public transport, package tours or boat trips.
As a general rule, airlines must compensate for damage caused by the destruction, loss, damage or delay of baggage. Liability for checked baggage is independent of fault and applies up to a maximum liability limit of around EUR 1,800.00.
Note
Whether a claim actually exists in your case depends on the specific individual case. The presentation of rights is only intended to provide an initial overview and is not exhaustive.
