No. They have to put a time limit when it stops being 'delayed' and is officially 'lost'. If it is 'delayed' you aren't entitled to any compensation (as it was your return journey). If it is lost you should be entitled to some compensation, though almost certainly not for a camera. You may need to provide receipts for all your items of clothing. You did keep the receipts, didn't you..? --- DFM -http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

The statutory compensation scheme does not dictate that you cannot put valuables in the luggage. It is not insurance. You may need to provide receipts for all your items of clothing. I very much doubt that any airline would expect receipts for clothing. Expecting someone to keep these is utterly ridiculous. tim |

I don't agree. *The statutory compensation scheme does not dictate that you cannot put valuables in the luggage. *It is not insurance. It is in the airlines T&C not to check-in such items (and doubtless disclaiming any liability if you do). I am not up to speed on the Montreal Convention, but AFAIR statutory compensation used to go by weight and clothes don't weigh a whole lot.... I wouldn't expect the small claims court to make a ruling on the convention. It is a bit like claiming your taxes back if you cancel a non- refundable ticket. Legally the taxes don't belong to the airline, but of course we know the airlines make an 'administration charge' to refund them. This way they effectively get to keep what isn't legally their property. You may need to provide receipts for all your items of clothing. I very much doubt that any airline would expect receipts for clothing. Expecting someone to keep these is utterly ridiculous. Yes, that's what I said. tim |

If they are lost on the way to my destination, then I view it as an opportunity to buy stylish new duds at my exotic locale. If my bag is lost on the way back home, that means there's a load of laundry I don't have to do. Either way, it's no big loss. That's a nice rule, until you run into an airline or country that severely restricts the weight of carry-on luggage, and you can't get all you toys into the cabin and remain under the limit. You end up having to check something you don't want to. Yup, that's my problem. I can fit everything into a carry-on roller but then it's too heavy and AF has forced me to check the carry-on, which has laptop, camera and other valuables. I could try taking on two pieces -- have a laptop bag which can be considered "personal bag" which some airlines don't count as your carryon. But then the LCC like BMI will stop that. In business class, AF and most other airlines will up your carry-on limits including weight. |
