Aer Lingus missing baggage: update the search file and make a separate expense claim

Report a missing Aer Lingus checked bag promptly, using the arrival staff, airport kiosk or ReportMyBag option available for your arrival. Aer Lingus asks for reporting within seven days of travel and says to file only once. Keep the reference and bag-tag number; opening several reports is not a substitute for updating the original case. Aer Lingus: Missing baggage If the bag has not arrived after 24 hours, update the tracing file with its appearance, contents and your current delivery address. Keep receipts for essential purchases: the expense submission asks for the booking reference, delayed-baggage reference, itemized receipts and payment details. When the bag remains missing beyond 21 days, Aer Lingus considers it lost and moves to a contents claim. The age and condition of the items matter, and interim expenses can be deducted from the final settlement. Aer Lingus: Missing baggage Keep the search and expense records together File one missing-bag report and retain its reference and the checked-bag tag. Update the contents and temporary address when requested rather than starting another case. Submit readable receipts for necessary purchases; if the bag is declared lost, provide the separate contents inventory. Last checked: 2026-09-22.
