Delayed baggage · LH
Lufthansa splits report and reimbursement. So do we.
The report form creates the trace; the reimbursement application is a separate step with its own receipts and facts.
First route
Report the bag.
This creates the tracing record. It does not usually replace the later documented claim.
Create the delayed-baggage report online or at the tracing counter.
Keep the file reference from the report.
Watch for Lufthansa’s own pre-filled notification form by email or app.
Second route
Build the claim record.
RecoupLane organises what you confirm. The airline applies its own assessment.
Keep every receipt for the separate reimbursement application.
The application form is its own step - the report alone is not the claim.
Submit through the official reimbursement route.
Pack contents
