The lawyer named a way to receive compensation for the loss of baggage from the airline

Eduard Shalonosov, a lawyer in the field of tourism, told how to get compensation from the airline for the loss of luggage.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Tuesday, January 13, the expert emphasized that if luggage is lost, three compensation options are possible: a fixed payment of up to 600 rubles per 1 kg, insurance compensation or compensation for actual expenses.

According to him, the passenger needs to file a baggage claim, and the responsibility for compensation in any case lies with the airline, since baggage is often lost due to theft or shipment to another country.

The lawyer noted that it is not worth saving on insurance, as its cost is usually significantly lower than the value of the contents of the suitcase. He also stressed that if the baggage is found, the airline is obliged to deliver it to the passenger at any place free of charge, and the requirement to pick it up yourself is illegal.

In addition, Shalonosov warned that even in the case of a baggage refund, the carrier is not exempt from the obligation to compensate for the costs of essentials purchased while waiting, writes RT.

This is a combination of baggage, which is acceptable on Russian airlines flights. It is available to spouses, family members, as well as colleagues and friends.
