Ryanair offering €50 for damaged bag… has anyone actually gotten full payout?

€50 is basically an insult if the bag was properly damaged. Under the Montreal Convention they’re liable up to around €1,300+ for baggage damage, but that doesn’t mean they just pay whatever you ask. You usually need proof of purchase or proof of value, photos of the damage, PIR...

Checked bag absolutely destroyed… AA just handed it back like nothing happened

Picked up my checked bag and it was torn to shreds. I had flavored Tums in the front pocket and while I can’t prove it, this looks exactly like dog damage. The bag is ripped open where the pocket was, and there’s still saliva on it. Looks like a dog went to town until it got to...

Delta checked bag came out burned… how does the claim process actually work?

Friend’s checked bag came off the belt looking like it was burned and dragged. Ski bibs are toast. Skis and poles are damaged too. They filed a claim at the airport and took a ton of photos. Delta told them to call the next day to continue the process. Question is how...

Qatar Airways offered $40 for damaged luggage… is that normal?

Flew Qatar Airways and my hard shell suitcase came back with a literal hole in it. Bag is about a year old from a well known brand. I reported the damage within a week and asked for around $200, which felt reasonable. Qatar came back offering $40, which seems insanely low. Is...

Ryanair has completely ignored my damaged baggage claim

Flew Italy to Ireland in early October and my checked bag came out totally destroyed. Tire tread straight across the front panel. I reported it immediately at the airport, filed the PIR, and submitted the online claim within 7 days with photos, receipts, everything. Ryanair...

Enterprise accused me of rental damage months later. What should I do?

Posting here after being told /scams wasn’t the right place. Mostly looking for advice and to warn others. We got a letter in December 2025 saying we damaged a car we rented from Enterprise. I’m absolutely certain we did not. The rental ended in September 2025, and the final...

Did I seriously annoy the baggage handlers or what

Just got back to SFO from Japan and saw my suitcase come out looking like this. I get the usual dings and scratches, that’s part of flying. But this looks like someone straight up slammed it on a metal edge. My heart sank a little watching it roll down the belt. Everyone with a...

Damaged suitcase after my Emirates flight, they called it “normal wear and tear”

Just landed in Brussels from Dubai and my bag came out looking rough. Took it to the baggage desk and the Emirates agent flat-out refused to file a report. Said it was “normal wear and tear,” and that he wouldn’t spend 30 minutes on the phone for something like this because...

Damaged luggage compensation from Starlux

Flew business class OKA to TPE and found my bag basically crushed on one side. Took it to the counter and they gave me two options: 1500 NTD on the spot or get a repair quote. Lojel checked it and said it’s total loss. They even wrote a letter with the value (around 450 USD)....

Still no response on my Air France baggage damage claim

Filed a claim over a month ago for a damaged bag and haven’t heard a thing back. The status still says “received.” How long does this usually take with Air France?

Delta shredded my Luggage and basically called Me a Liar, what would you do?

Just got back from a Delta flight where my luggage came off the carousel looking like it got into a fight with a jet engine. It was completely shredded, even airport staff commented on how bad it looked. When I went to the baggage desk, I expected at least an inspection or some...
