Claiming for Lost luggage when I have lost the baggage tags as well, Can I still claim?
I lost my two bags during my long (40 +hr) travel. One bag was later found but the other is still missing. The local Airline staff (Etihad) says I cannot file a claim since I lost the bag stickers. They did let me file a courtesy lost baggage claim on arrival which really means it is only courtesy and I cannot claim the lost luggage if not found. My question is, since everything is computerized, can they trace my lost luggage TAGs, or may be trace it from the one that was already found? Can I file a claim when I lost the stickers itself?
