Before You File: The #1 Step Most Travelers Miss
Get a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) before you leave the airport. This is the official airline record of your baggage issue — without it, airlines will reject your claim.
Go to Baggage Service
Find the airline's baggage service desk before leaving the airport
Bring Your Documents
Have your boarding pass, ID, and baggage claim tags ready
Get Your PIR Number
The agent will issue a PIR with a unique reference number — keep it safe
Photo Everything
Photograph your damaged bag, missing items area, tags, and the PIR itself
Don't have a PIR? Don't panic — you may still have options depending on your airline and claim type. See plans and we'll guide you through next steps.
Airlines Make It Hard On Purpose
They design baggage claim processes to exhaust you into giving up. Every obstacle is intentional.
Broken Forms That Block Submission
Airlines use outdated, error-prone forms designed to frustrate you into giving up. One wrong click and you start over.
Unclear Documentation Requirements
They reject claims as 'too vague' but never tell you exactly what they need. It's a guessing game designed to make you quit.
Contradictory Deadline Confusion
Is it 6 hours? 24 hours? 7 days? 21 days? Miss one deadline and your claim is worthless.
Lowball Settlement Offers
They offer one-third of what you're owed, hoping you'll take it rather than fight for months.
"I spent hours over three months fighting with Delta. The forms kept breaking, they kept asking for 'more documentation' without saying what, and I finally gave up. They won by exhausting me."
