How much can you claim?
The Montreal Convention caps baggage liability at 1,519 SDR per passenger. That is a ceiling, not a payout: airlines reimburse the loss you can evidence, up to that limit.

BAGGAGE CLAIM FAQ
Answers before you file.
Practical guidance for preparing a delayed, damaged or lost baggage claim. Airline review and the facts of each journey still apply.
How do I claim expenses for delayed baggage?
Report the delay to the airline, keep the PIR reference, save receipts for reasonable essential purchases and submit the evidence through the operating airline's official claim route. BagClaim organises those documents into one reviewable claim pack.
What evidence should I include in a baggage claim?
Useful evidence commonly includes the PIR or file reference, baggage tag, boarding pass or booking confirmation, expense receipts, photographs of damage and relevant airline messages. The exact evidence depends on whether the bag was delayed, damaged or lost.
When is delayed baggage considered lost?
Under the Montreal Convention, a passenger may enforce rights relating to lost baggage when the carrier admits the loss or when the baggage has not arrived within 21 days after it should have arrived. Carrier rules and the facts of the journey still need review.
Which airline should receive my baggage claim?
Start with the airline that operated the baggage journey, especially the final flight segment. A codeshare ticket may show a different marketing airline. BagClaim matches supported carriers to verified official forms and portals.
Does BagClaim upload or store my documents?
No. In this version, claim fields, OCR and PDF creation stay in temporary browser memory on your device. BagClaim has no claim database or document upload API.
How much does BagClaim cost?
The claim check is free. The Complete Claim Pack is a one-time €19.90 purchase for your current location, with no subscription or percentage fee. It includes the claim letter, expense schedule, organised evidence, follow-up and a response draft if the airline rejects the claim.
How much compensation can I get for delayed or lost luggage?
There is no fixed payout. The airline assesses the documented loss, and the Montreal Convention caps baggage liability at 1,519 SDR per passenger, roughly EUR 1,800 depending on exchange rates. You can claim the proven cost of essential purchases, repairs or lost contents up to that ceiling.
PRIVACY BOUNDARY
Your claim stays on this device.
BagClaim has no claim database, account system or document-upload API. Claim fields, OCR text and source files live in temporary browser memory while this page is open.
OCR, evidence checks and PDF creation run in your browser using code, language data and fonts served from this same site.
HTTPS page and asset requests remain visible in your own browser. The hosting provider can receive ordinary connection metadata such as IP address, time and user agent, but not your claim documents.
Start over or reload the page to clear the in-memory claim. Any downloaded claim pack remains only where you save it.
Do not add passports, health records or unrelated personal data. Redact anything the airline does not actually need.
Optional analytics stays off until you allow it. Claim content is never sent to analytics. Opening an airline link takes you to that airline’s own service and privacy terms. Read the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
