What is AirBaltic lost baggage policy?
If your baggage is not located within 21 days of arrival, you are entitled to file a claim for compensation. We recommend submitting a claim to your insurance company as the liability of the carrier in case of total loss of checked luggage is limited according to Article 22 of the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules for International Carriage by air (Montreal, 28 May 1999). Please do not hesitate to contact the AirBaltic Customer Relations department if you need a confirmation letter for your insurance company.
However, if you wish to claim your expenses directly from the airline, please submit your application along with a list of the lost items and their value, as well as any purchase receipts (if applicable) to the AirBaltic Customer Relations department via the online form.
