First route
Report the bag.
This creates the tracing record. It does not usually replace the later documented claim.

Report at the baggage services counter and collect the file reference number.
02
Keep the reference - it anchors every follow-up.
03
The online mishandled-baggage form is the alternative route.
Second route
Build the claim record.
RecoupLane organises what you confirm. The airline applies its own assessment.
01
Current guidance commits to reimbursing reasonable and necessary expenses caused by late delivery.
02
Keep itemised receipts for everything bought because of the delay.
03
Submit through the official online form within 21 days.
