Delta/Lufthansa lost my checked bags in an international trip. Literally packed everything there except my laptop. Can I expense clothes, toiletries and charge it to the airlines?

I’m just confused how it could be “Delta/Lufthansa.” They aren’t partners, and you can’t purchase a single ticket across both airlines. Did you purchase separate tickets and leave your bag at baggage claim during a connection?

like

I booked through AMEX travel where they purchased all the tickets together under the same itinerary. When I asked delta if I needed to recheck they said no, they said because of that they acknowledge the final destination and that they would hand off the luggage to Lufthansa prior to that flight. The delta tags printed showed the final airport as well.

They’ll give you a certain amount for the lost bags but you should check the specific airline policy.

helpful

Generally yes. If you can get to a company desk several full service airlines will provide you with a credit card with about 100-150 dollars to cover you for 24-48 hours. Generally bags are found and delivered within 24 hours.

“If you have to purchase replacement items because your checked item of baggage is delayed, we will, of course, contribute to the necessary expenses for toiletries and clothing in accordance with legal requirements*. In this case, please retain all your receipts so that you can make your claim later. After you have reported the damage to your baggage (at the airport or online), please contact Lufthansa Customer Relations for a refund of your verified costs. Important: Passengers have an obligation to minimise damages – this means that expenses must be kept as low as possible in the event of temporary loss of baggage.”

Also, check your coverage with the credit card you bought the tickets with as many have lost luggage coverage.

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
