What is more effective seeking luggage damage compensation from the aiport or airline?
We found air luggage to be damaged after a flight and reported the damage right at the airport. The airport then advised us to seek damage compensation from the airline as this would go more smoothly but as this is a low budget airline I highly doubt it.
Which option will be more effective?
Best Answer
I believe that compensation for lost or damaged luggage is always with the airline who flies the last leg of your journey. I've never heard of an airport dealing with luggage issues.
