What to do If Your Luggage Get’s Damaged 👇 1. Take a photo BEFORE checking your bag - This is your proof it wasn't already damaged. One quick photo at check-in can get you hundreds back. 2. Report the damage immediately at the airport - Go to the airline's baggage service desk before leaving. File an official damage report and get a reference number. Don't accept a lowball voucher. 3. Document everything - Take photos of the damage from multiple angles. Keep your baggage claim ticket, boarding pass, and receipts for the luggage. 4. Know your rights - The US Department of Transportation requires all airlines to reimburse passengers for damaged baggage up to $3,800 for domestic flights (international flights are covered up to ~$1,780 under Montreal Convention). This isn't optional for them - it's federal law. 5. Submit your written claim within 7 days - Email the airline with all documentation and photos. Reference the DOT regulation if they push back. 6. Get your money - They'll repair, reimburse, or pay you the value. Stand firm on the actual cost of your bag. #EduTok #TikTokLearningCampaign #LearnOnTikTok #edutokcontest
