Delayed baggage

If you don't receive all of your checked bags when you arrive, please let us know as soon as possible. Air Europa will take all the necessary steps to locate them and get them to you as soon as we can.

There are two ways to report delayed luggage:

  • Online: report the delayed baggage online within 24 hours of your flight's arrival.
  • In person: report the delayed baggage in person at the counter in the airport baggage claim area.

   Check the status of your baggage search

To report a delay in the delivery of your baggage online, we need the details of the passenger, the flight and the number from the baggage claim tag. The baggage claim number has 10 digits, or 2 letters and 6 digits. You will find it on the tag given to you at the check-in desk, and it is the same as the number shown on the tag attached to your bag. 

After providing the information, you will receive an email confirming the incident together with the PIR (Property Irregularity Report). You will need it to track the progress of locating your luggage in real time.

Our online baggage search tool lets you view your case, add more information or edit it. To track your incident, you have to provide the reference number (PIR number, for example: PMIUX12345) and surname.

Check the status of your baggage search

It is a 'Property Irregularity Report', which is essential for processing a claim. It is drawn up once you report an incident before you leave the arrivals area of the airport, or once you file an incident using our online baggage search tool.

The PIR contains three letters corresponding to the airport code where the claim was presented, followed by the code UX and 5 numbers (e.g., PMIUX12345).

For greater security, we recommend saving a copy of any documentation you send.

Damaged baggage

You must go to the airline desk in the baggage claim area of the airport to report the incident and complete the Property Irregularity Report (PIR) before leaving the hall.

Once the PIR is created, you can request to have your baggage repaired or replaced, both inside and outside Spain.

In Spain:

  • Contact Customer Service within 7 days of the incident date. Our Direct Service will process the replacement of your baggage with an item of similar characteristics.

Outside Spain:

  • If you wish to request compensation for the repair or replacement of your damaged baggage: download the claim form and email it to cat.equipajes@cs.aireuropa.com within 7 days of the incident date.
  • We have partner shops in Montevideo, Orly, Tel Aviv and Brazil to fix or replace baggage.

For your benefit, please remember:

  • Before leaving the airport, you must notify Air Europa staff of the incident and check your baggage for any additional damage, since a PIR cannot be opened once you leave the arrivals area and the company will be exempt from liability.
  • You must also keep all the flight documentation and the damaged baggage until the claim has been resolved, as you will be asked for it in order to process the incident with your baggage.

Additional information

  • Keep your original travel documentation (ticket, baggage tags and boarding cards), as well as any receipts for essential expenses directly related to the incident in the event of delayed delivery, as the Company may ask you to submit them.
  • Limited liability. Keep in mind that all airlines have limited liability, so you may have greater coverage if you have a comprehensive domestic, business or travel insurance policy.
  • The PIR is an incident report, which does not imply any admission of liability. If you wish to file a claim, we would be grateful if you could send the documentation requested by our Baggage Service as soon as possible, within the periods provided for on the ticket, i.e., under 21 days from the incident in the event of delay of delivery or loss, and 7 days in the event of damage.

If your trip includes a flight operated by another airline, the company that operates the last flight of the trip is responsible for managing the Property Irregularity Report (PIR). Therefore, you must contact this airline to process the incident.

Was this information interesting for you?

The Property Irregularity Report is essential for processing a claim. To complete a PIR, you must notify us of an incident before you leave the arrivals area of the airport.

 The PIR contains three letters corresponding to the airport code where the claim was presented, followed by UX and 5 numbers (e.g., PMIUX12345).

Once you leave the baggage claim area, you will not be able to process the PIR and the airline will be exempt from any liability.

Please note that a PIR completed at the airport is an incident report, and under no circumstances implies any admission of liability by the airline.

In accordance with Article 17.2 of the Montreal Convention, the carrier shall not be liable for damage caused to the extent that the damage is due to the nature, defect or vice of the baggage. In this sense, the normal use of baggage produces over time a wear that weakens the structure of the suitcases and, consequently, results in the aforementioned defects or vices, whose common result is the deterioration of the suitcases. Similarly, the misuse of suitcases, without respecting the manufacturer's specifications regarding weight and maximum capacity, also results in damage due to the nature and vice of the baggage, the responsibility of which must be fully assumed by the passenger. For these reasons, airlines, in accordance with the Montreal Convention, do not assume liability for minor damage and accessories that protrude from the baggage and that have been caused by the causes above.

All airlines have limited liability, so you may have greater coverage if you have a fully comprehensive, domestic, business or travel insurance policy.
