Before submitting a Delta Air Lines compensation claim for lost luggage, it is important to know that the airline is obliged to search for the luggage and deliver it to the passenger as soon as possible.
If the luggage is not found within 21 days from the date it should have been delivered, it is considered lost and a compensation claim can be made against the airline.
To initiate the Delta Air Lines compensation claim process, it is necessary to file a Baggage Irregularity Report with the airline within 7 days from the date of arrival of the flight.
This document is essential to claim any compensation to the airline company.
If this report is not submitted within the established deadline, the compensation claim may be rejected.
Once the report has been submitted, the passenger must wait for the airline to locate the luggage.
If the luggage is still missing after 21 days, it is considered lost and the Delta Air Lines compensation claim process can be initiated.
According to the Montreal Convention, the airline has a maximum liability for lost luggage of 1.253 SDRs (Special Drawing Rights), which at exchange rate is approximately €1.414.
However, it is important to note that these compensations are not automatic, the passenger must justify the damage and the prejudice suffered.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep all receipts for any additional expenses incurred due to the loss of luggage, such as the purchase of clothes and basic necessities.
To submit a claim for lost luggage, the Delta Air Lines compensation claim can be made directly to the airline.
In case Delta Air Lines does not respond within two months, claims can be filed to the Spanish Aviation Safety Agency (AESA), which is the body in charge of resolving air passengers' claims.
In any case, it is important to remember that the presentation of the Baggage Irregularity Report is essential to initiate any Delta Air Lines compensation claim process for lost baggage.
In addition, it is advisable to keep all documents that can justify the additional expenses caused by the loss of baggage.

European law states that passengers are entitled to compensation if their flight is cancelled or delayed for more than three hours, unless the airline can prove that the delay or cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken.
