Delayed baggage · UA
United’s routes are mapped. The fine print comes next.
The delayed-bag report, tracing and claim flows exist online - the exact deadline wording is being captured manually before this route opens.
First route
Report the bag.
This creates the tracing record. It does not usually replace the later documented claim.
Start the delayed-bag report through United’s online flow or at the airport.
Keep the file reference for tracing and the claim.
Track the bag through the app or the tracing page.
Second route
Build the claim record.
RecoupLane organises what you confirm. The airline applies its own assessment.
United’s claim portal includes a dedicated interim-expenses claim type.
Keep receipts for essential purchases during the delay.
Submit through the official claim portal for the matching claim type.
Pack contents
