Baggage Claim Help Guide

Baggage Claim Help Guide

Everything you need to know about filing a baggage claim with NiCE Airlines

Form Fields & Information

What if I don't have my baggage claim tag number?
While helpful, the baggage claim tag number isn't required. You can still file a claim using your flight details, booking confirmation, and detailed baggage description. Tip: Check your boarding pass stub or any receipts from check-in.
Which flight date should I enter for connecting flights?
Enter the date of the flight where your baggage was last seen or was supposed to arrive. For connecting flights, this is usually your final destination flight date.
What documents should I upload?
Upload your boarding pass, baggage receipts, and photos of your baggage if available. These help us locate and verify your claim faster. Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, PDF, DOC (max 10MB per file).
How detailed should my baggage description be?
Be as specific as possible! Include brand, color, size, material, distinctive features (stickers, ribbons, damage), and valuable contents. The more details, the easier it is for us to identify your baggage.
What if I'm traveling with multiple bags?
Select the total number of missing bags in the form. In the description field, clearly separate each bag's details (e.g., "Bag 1: Black Samsonite suitcase..." "Bag 2: Navy blue duffel bag..."). This helps our team track each item individually.

Delivery & Contact

Will NiCE Airlines contact me to confirm my delivery address if I'm traveling or not in the country?
Yes, absolutely! Our baggage team will contact you via phone or email before delivery to confirm your current location and the best delivery address. We understand travel plans change, so we always verify delivery details with you first.
Can I change my delivery address after submitting the claim?
Yes! Contact our baggage services team at 1-800-NICE-FLY with your claim reference number. We can update your delivery address, contact information, or any other details as needed.
What if I'm staying at a hotel temporarily?
No problem! Provide the hotel address and mention in the "Additional Information" field that it's a temporary address. Include your hotel confirmation number if possible. We'll coordinate with the hotel for delivery.
How will you contact me about my claim?
We'll contact you via the phone number and email provided in your claim. You'll receive updates on claim status, delivery arrangements, and any additional information we might need. We typically call first, then follow up with email confirmation.
Can someone else receive my baggage on my behalf?
Yes, but you must authorize this during the claim process. Provide the recipient's full name and contact details in the delivery address section. The recipient will need to show ID and may be asked to sign for the delivery.

Process & Timeline

How long does the baggage claim process take?
Delayed baggage: Usually located within 24-48 hours. Lost baggage: Investigation takes 5-21 days depending on complexity. Damaged baggage: Claims processed within 7-14 days. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
What happens after I submit my claim?
You'll receive a confirmation email with your claim reference number within 24 hours. Our baggage team will begin investigating immediately and contact you with updates or if additional information is needed.
Can I submit a claim for baggage damaged during my flight?
Yes! Select "Damaged Baggage" as your issue type and provide detailed photos of the damage. For damaged items, report within 7 days of arrival for the fastest resolution.
What if my baggage contains expensive items?

How do I track my claim status?

Compensation & Reimbursement

Will I be compensated for delayed baggage?
Yes! If your baggage is delayed over 24 hours, you're eligible for reimbursement of essential items (clothing, toiletries) up to $50 per day for the first 3 days, then $25 per day thereafter. Keep all receipts and submit them with your claim.
What if my baggage is declared lost?
If we cannot locate your baggage after 21 days, it's declared lost. You'll be compensated based on the baggage contents and depreciated value, up to liability limits of $1,500 per passenger for domestic flights and $1,700 for international flights.
Are there items that aren't covered?
Items like cash, jewelry, electronics, medication, important documents, and perishables should be carried in hand luggage. These items have limited or no coverage when checked. See our baggage policy for full details.
How do I get reimbursed for essential items?
Keep receipts for essential purchases and upload them with your claim or email them to baggage@niceairlines.com with your claim number. Reimbursement is processed within 5-7 business days via the original payment method.
What's covered for damaged baggage compensation?
We cover repair costs for repairable damage, or replacement value for unrepairable items. For designer or expensive luggage, provide proof of purchase for accurate valuation. Wear and tear from normal use is not covered.
