Question 4

Do I have a right to a replacement if my baggage is lost or delayed?

Accepted Answer

If we are unable to deliver your baggage the same day after arrival at your destination (excluding home destination), we will of course, contribute to the necessary expenses – such as clothes or drugstore items. Refunds are up to €30 per person per day for a maximum of three days (up to €90 per person in total).

Please submit your receipts here within 21 days of arrival.

Note: Passengers have an obligation to minimise damages; this means that expenses must be kept as low as possible in the event of temporary loss of baggage.

Question 5

What are the statutory reporting deadlines for delays or damage to my baggage and for replacement purchases?

Accepted Answer

Please report any loss or damage of your baggage to the Eurowings baggage tracing desk at the airport or online via our Baggage Self Service immediately after arrival.

A subsequent written report is possible within the statutory period, but the burden of proof is reversed and you must provide evidence that the problem occurred during air transport.

Please note that the postmark or the automatic date of receipt by email is decisive for compliance with the reporting deadlines.
