What happens if you take the wrong luggage?
The best thing to do is to take the bag back to the airline’s baggage counter as soon as possible. Don’t remove any tags from the outside of the bag. Let the airline agents take the responsibility of getting your actual bag back to you, and dealing with the person the bag belongs to.
What happens with your luggage when you change flights?
When you purchase a connecting flight, checked baggage is usually forwarded to your final destination, and will change planes when you do. When you purchase a layover flight, you will need to claim your bags when you land at your layover destination, and recheck them the next day when you continue your flight(s).

What happens to your luggage if you miss your flight? In the event that you missed a connection, or got held up in security and your checked luggage has gone ahead without you, immediately find an airline representative. The airline may be able to track your bags and hold them for you until your arrival.
What happens if someone puts drugs in your bag?
If you claim that someone else has planted these drugs you would need to prove them to be so. In such a situation they will detain you until a conclusion can be reached. The security footage will be requested from your port of departure and in case of a foreign activity on your luggage you will probably be cleared.
What do I do if someone else takes my luggage?
Travelers who suspect they were a victim of stolen luggage should immediately notify their airline of the situation. A stolen luggage report can also be filed with the airport police, in the event your property is recovered on baggage handlers or other employees.
What happens if you pick up the wrong suitcase at the airport?
Please just return to the arrivals area of the airport with the bag you have, along with some ID and your original bag tag receipt, and we’ll be able to give you your bag and take the other one from you.
How do I get my luggage back from the airport?
Here are a few steps to take when your luggage is lost.
- Contact the airline.
- Request delivery to your home or accommodation.
- Request checked baggage fee reimbursement.
- Submit a claim to the airline after 24 hours.
- Keep receipts of incidental expenses.

How do I know if my luggage will be transferred?
If you booked the flights together at the same time, luggage will usually be “checked through” to your final destination. If you booked them separately, especially if it’s different airlines, you’ll probably have to pick up your luggage and check it in again.
What happens if I miss a flight on purpose?
If you fail to show up for your scheduled flight, you’ll fall into the “no show” category, meaning that the airline can cancel the rest of your itinerary, leaving you with minimal options for refunds or rebooking.
What happens to your luggage when connecting flights between countries?
