What do you do as a traveler if you lose your baggage? This guide will help you. Read on to learn more.

The Claims Process

To begin, you must go to the Arrivals Service desk in the arrival hall. The Finnair agents there will create a report and then provide you with the reference number.

You also have the option of filling out the baggage tracing form which is located in the contact and request forms section of the customer care tab. Please note that this form requests as much detail as possible but there are some fields that are mandatory; first and last name, address and contact information, your flight details and a description of your lost baggage.

If you report the missing baggage in person, you can use the reference number to track the status of your claim at Finnair's website. The World Tracer is also located in the contact and request forms section.

If you have any questions, please call Finnair's customer service agents and they'll be happy to assist.

What Can You Expect Next

Rest assured that Finnair will do their best to locate your missing baggage. If your baggage was delayed, you will receive fair compensation for any necessary items you had to buy as long as you use the feedback form within 21 days of receiving your baggage. The airline will keep you updated on the status by text or email. If you receive any of these messages, it's important to follow the instructions exactly.

If you haven't received your baggage within 72 hours of making the report, Finnair asks that you provide more information through the baggage tracing form online.
