DELAYED, LOST OR DAMAGED BAGGAGE

Delayed, Lost or Damaged Baggage

• Delayed Baggage

  Delayed Baggage

  When you notify one of our representatives that your bags are delayed, you will receive a file reference number. Please keep this number, as you will need to refer back to it while when initiating claims or inquiring about your property. You may be eligible for a bag fee rebate if your first or second paid checked bag(s) have been delayed for more than 12 hours after being reported to a baggage service agent/office. You may also track the status of your checked luggage using our online tracking form.

• Expense Reimbursement

  Expense Reimbursement

  Delta requires that receipts be presented for all reasonable expense reimbursements incurred due to the delay of a passenger's bag. Reasonable expenses generally are $50 per day for up to 5 days. The guidelines for reasonable expenses are NOT daily limits or a cap and additional expenses may be incurred and should be handled on an individual basis up to the limit of liability. Any disbursements will be deducted from the final settlement if the bag is not located. Please note, if your bag is still missing, you must submit a baggage online claim form as described above. Once you have entered your first name, last name and file reference number, choose the "Out of Pocket Expense" option on the form. The "Out of Pocket Expense" form is only for the reimbursement of incidental expenses incurred while your bag was delayed. Please submit this form and upload your receipts at time of submission for consideration of reimbursement.

• Lost Baggage

  Ruimbagage

  If your bag is lost in transit, we apologize for the inconvenience and ask that you notify a Delta representative to receive a file reference so we can try to locate your baggage. If unable to locate you can complete and submit the online Baggage Claim Form above. You can track your missing baggage with our Track the Status tool. Bags can be tracked using your bag tag number(s) or the file reference number given to you by a Delta representative.
