BeNNy Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hey guys,So basically, we flew back from LA couple of days ago and my brother's luggage didn't arrive at Heathrow when we arrived. The people at Virgin Atlantic said his luggage is still in LA and that it would be sent directly to our house the following day. It's been a couple of days now and Virgin has said that the luggage is now lost and they are currently searching for it. They said that if my brother doesn't get his luggage back within 25 days, he is entitled to claim off our travel insurance or off Virgin. My question is that is my brother allowed to claim off our travel insurance now? and has this ever happened to anyone on here before? How much roughly compensation will he receive?Cheers guys!

Sam F Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Happened to my mum/dad. With all the stuff in it. Didn't get any compensation etc. Thats probably because my dad couldn't be bothered to go through all the hassle with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobek Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 happened to me when i went to korea. i flew with aeroflot and had to stop off in russia to transfer plan.so when i got to korea...i found out my suitcase was still in the moscow airport...which means that for a week i went with out ANY spare clothes, and toiletries.eventually it arrived in korea but i now have that same fear that everytime i travel somewhere...that my suitcase wont be in the same country as me.think i had some sort of emergency plan in my insurance to cover this but...to be honest...would have been alot of hassle and i really couldnt be bothered.
