How To Report Lost Luggage to Air France
If you can’t find your luggage in the baggage claim area, it’s most likely delayed and not lost. Regardless, you can take the following measures to monitor the progress and get your luggage as soon as possible:
- Declare lost luggage
- Track your file’s number
- Receive your baggage or claim a compensation
Declare Lost Luggage
There are two ways to declare lost luggage. You can report the problem online or in person, as follows:
- Online—If you discover that your baggage is still missing 48 hours after arrival, you can report your lost luggage online. You will need to include the baggage receipt number. By the end of the declaration process, you should receive a file number to track your item’s investigation
- In person—You can head over to the Air France KLM Baggage Service directly if you’re within the airport’s premises. You will also receive a tracking number to monitor the progress of your case
Track Your File Number
To track the progress of your lost baggage claim in real-time, enter your name and your file number in the online baggage search tool.
Receive Your Lost Luggage or Claim a Compensation
Delayed baggage typically turns up within 72 hours of arrival. The Air France representative will notify you to arrange a convenient time for delivery.
If the airline can’t locate your luggage after 72 hours have passed, you can fill out the inventory and claim form on the baggage search tool website. Make sure to describe your missing baggage as accurately as possible and specify the value of each item.
Your luggage will be declared missing if not found within 21 days of your flight. Air France will initiate a compensation claim based on the item values you specified. You will be required to provide receipts or proof of purchase to claim reimbursement.
Based on the Montreal Convention, the maximum compensation amount is €1,607 (around $1,853).
How To Contact Air France Representatives
You can direct any inquiries to either the baggage service or the customer support depending on how many days have passed since you submitted a declaration form:
| Within Five Days | After Five Days |
