Damaged or lost baggage

DAMAGED OR LOST BAGGAGE   

If a piece of baggage is misguided, the Lost & Found office at your arrival airport is in charge of the tracing process. Please report the loss or damage of your baggage immediately after your arrival.

   

We can trace the majority of misguided baggage within the first 24 hours. In rare cases it may happen that a piece of baggage cannot be found within five days. In this case the responsible Lost & Found office will initiate a second, thorough investigation. Therefore please give us detailed information on the contents of your baggage. When reporting the loss or damage of your baggage, please indicate your permanent address, your temporary address (during a trip), telephone, mobile and/or fax numbers.

If you receive no positive answer from the inquiry office within the first five days, please complete this Baggage Inventory Form (PDF) and send it to the following address:
