TravelPulse › Flight Rights › Baggage
| Incident date | Baggage cap | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| From 28 Dec 2024 | 1,519 SDR (~US$2,050) | Art. 22(2), ICAO 2024 revision (effective 28 Dec 2024) |
| Before 28 Dec 2024 | 1,288 SDR (~US$1,740) | Art. 22(2), ICAO 2019 revision |
PROVEN damages up to the cap — the cap is a ceiling, not a scheduled entitlement; keep receipts. Higher-value baggage: special declaration of interest at check-in (Art. 22(2)) lifts the cap.
| Issue | Written complaint due | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged bag | 7 days from receipt | Art. 31(2) — written complaint within 7 days of receipt of the baggage |
| Delayed bag | 21 days from when you got it back | Art. 31(2) — written complaint within 21 days from the date the baggage was placed at the passenger's disposal |
| Lost bag | No complaint deadline — deemed lost after 21 days | Art. 17(3) — bag is deemed lost after 21 days (or if the carrier admits loss); no Art. 31 complaint deadline, but the 2-year Art. 35 limit applies |
Court action in all cases: 2 years (Art. 35 — right to damages extinguished 2 years from arrival (or scheduled arrival)).
