Posted by QuickReadAbout.com Staff in Baggage Delay
Checking your luggage on a flight is a convenience, but when the airline misplaces your bag — even for just half a day — it can be an enormous inconvenience instead. And, while the airline personnel are sympathetic, there’s often little they can provide you to offset the costs created by baggage delays.
That’s why, as a member of Reservation Rewards , we’ve seen to it that you’ll receive reimbursement for expenses you incur as a result of baggage delays more than 12 hours. You’re covered for up to one claim per trip, up to $250.00 per year, for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the airline, including:
Replacement clothing and personal items
Food & Lodging
Transportation
Lost and Damaged Baggage
Although the airlines find misplaced bags most of the time, a small percentage of checked bags are never found or returned to their owners.
The airlines have a generous claim reimbursement allowance, but it doesn’t cover the costs associated with processing a claim, and valuations of lost items can vary.
Your Lost and Damaged Baggage Protection provides you additional compensation — up to $250.00 per claim and up to $500.00 per year — to offset costs incurred while filing a claim and the difference between your claimed amount and the airline’s settlement.
