However, if you are sure your bag hasn’t arrived, the first thing to do is to file a passenger irregularity report with the airline’s representatives in the baggage claim area. To file this report, you should describe your bag and hand over the baggage claim tag given to you at the time of check-in. Talk to the baggage handling agents while filing your missing bag report and ask for the guidelines to claim this amount. Each airline considers a bag lost, if they are not able to get it to you after 21 days of your travel. In this case, you would have to file a new claim with the airline for lost baggage.
