Compensation for delayed baggage on international United flight
My bag on an international flight with United Airlines was delayed. The bag got delivered at its destination about 36 hours after I arrived. During that time, not only did I not have clothes to change or toiletry items, but I was unable to purchase anything to replace some of those items as this was over a long weekend in Europe, when almost all the stores are closed.
Am I entitled to a compensation from United Airlines? If I am, for how much, and what is the best way to claim for that compensation?
Best Answer
From my experience I can tell you that once a lady's luggage got delayed and she had a suit in her suitcase which she needed the next morning for some job thing. She could then buy a new suit and send the bill to the luggage handling company.
So as far as it is for things you really need the next day(or 2), you can buy them and send the receipts to the company. I don't know how much they will pay you. You could ask them for your rights as passenger (they should give/send/tell you when you ask) and see if it says anything about that.
