| Damaged
Baggage |
When travelling via an Airline it is possible
your luggage may be damaged in some way. In the past, generally
speaking, airlines have paid for repairs to most types of damage
to luggage. Today things are changing and airlines are becoming
stricter in enforcing the policies regarding the types of damages
they are responsible for.
Things Airlines will not cover include: Normal wear and tear/minor
cuts, scratches, dents or damaged to parts protruding from the case
(e.g. wheels, feet, pull handles, flaps, pull straps) /damage resulting
from oversized or over-packed bags/manufacturers defects.
Airline personnel are not always uniform in enforcing their baggage
damage policies. It is best to check over your baggage upon pickup
and make a claim with airline immediately with regard to any damage
you may notice. Most Airlines will not accept damage claims unless
they are made within a reasonable time frame. (Usually within 48
hrs). The claim should be made to the carrier on which you have
landed (and found the baggage to be damaged) in case of involvement
of Interline. |
