Lost luggage at the airport - what to do when your suitcase has not arrived?
If you have not received your baggage upon arrival (the baggage did not arrive with you on board the aircraft), you must immediately report it to the Baggage Claims Agent.
To do this, you will need:
boarding passes from your trip
baggage tag(s) - as proof that you have checked in your baggage
The agent will ask you to provide some basic information that will help identify your baggage (and thus speed up its recovery):
type of luggage,
luggage color,
luggage brand,
whether the luggage had additional markings (e.g. additional name tag, distinguishing elements)
The agent may also ask you what was in your luggage. If the baggage tag affixed at check-in is lost from your baggage, comparing the contents is one way to find your baggage. Other important details:
baggage delivery address (note that not all airlines offer baggage delivery to you),
ticket number,
contact details.
After submitting the application, you will also receive a confirmation of the so-called PIR (Property Irregularity Report), where you will find e.g. case number and telephone number to the Luggage Claims Section.
Some airlines also have special apology letters for passengers that are handed out by the Baggage Claims Agent after a claim has been made.
