I actually used this! It took them 1,5 years to reimburse me! But they did it eventually :D
It actually took the. That long?

Why so long
I'm not surprised but companies like this will do anything possible to delay the process of making things right for customer

When we flew Southwest last year to a wedding and our luggage did not arrive, they TOLD us to buy and we would be reimbursed. We were reimbursed clothing for the rehearsal dinner, toiletries, sleepwear, swimsuits for the kids, casual outfits for two days, right down the undergarments and socks. We were frugal, kept it under $300 per adult and $150 per child. They wrote us a check on the spot when we went ro pick up our luggage the morning of the wedding. We had no issues. Granted, it was a pain to go shopping each day, but it was better than having to buy it ourselves!
Awesome! Did you eventually get your luggage back?
@@christina-m-sfl read the comment again lol
Sure, Sherry. And that’s what the airline should’ve done. But you weren’t trying to scam the airline-which is the whole point of this video. People like this “video creator” disgust me, telling people to purposefully pack necessary items (like coat and boots if you’re going to a cold area) in luggage and just hope the baggage is delayed. Ugh.
@NoDontLikeIt that makes no sense, nobody hopes their luggage is delayed.
@@NoDontLikeIti sense someone is pissed for no reason 👀
I flew from New Hampshire to Dallas back in the early 80s. They lost my suitcase. A very older seasoned salesman pulled me aside and told me to tell the desk clerk my wallet was inside my suitcase even though it wasn’t. The airline ended up giving me vouchers for a hotel, meals and a taxi. I could have paid that but his advice saved a bunch of money. The airline delivered my suitcase to my hotel the next day. I was 22 and he appeared to be in his early sixties. I’ve always wanted to thank him for his advice.
What a good Man to share that information with you, that would have felt good to have a night at a hotel, a nice dinner and the taxi to get there, all on the airline money. I’m sure you have passed the information on to other’s just like you’re doing here, and that’s repaying his kindness. Not related but when I was traveling in the US 19i88 (I’ve been there about 20 times) I answered a call for volunteers to give a their seats and they offered my Girlfriend and I a $500 voucher but since I’m an Aussie I pressed them and they gave us a $1000 voucher each they were much more generous back then with flight vouchers. Plus a meal voucher each as it was about a 4hr wait for the next flight. My Mum taught me to always volunteer if you have the time and to not take the first offer.
That is not only lying but it is also stealing. Why would you think this was OK?
@@CarolP2045 *I can't bring myself to do dishonest stuff like that. The integrity and moral decaying of our society is saddening.*
AirTags also help too and that's how one person got their bag back with the help of their followers because what was in their bag was irreplaceable.
Legend has it, she is still waiting for the check to arrive in the mail....
That also got delayed....

Reminder: DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TO THE FLIGHT ATTENDTS AND PILOTS, THEY DONT WORK WOTH THE BAGGAGE
If that's not their department, they can have the decency to direct you to whoever is. We're not going to know who to go to, necessarily. It's called being professional (regardless of field of work), and I have done just that when I was not able to help someone in a predicament.
@@Lavenderrose73You just ask where the lost baggage department, they have an office at the airport, it’s also where you take your baggage if it’s been damaged by the baggage handlers, because once you take it out of the airport they don’t have to have your baggage repaired or replaced.
@Sweetlyfe Who said anything about having taken it out of the airport yet? This was about reaching out to someone for help and not knowing who you should be actually reaching out to (while stressed out and anxious over baggage that should be there and isn't). Maybe consider how the person may be feeling and that they may not know _what_ to think at the moment.
@@Lavenderrose73 I think you misunderstood my intent, or it may not have come across in my comment, it was meant to be informative not critical of the person, having been travelling for 43yrs, I prefer to have a 23yr old reliable car and live simply so I can travel. I have been In those situations and yes it’s incredibly stressful, and I feel for anyone in those circumstances as you stand at the baggage carousel hoping that your bag will arrive. So that’s why I put some meant to be helpful information for people in those circumstances, because airlines will try and screw you and claiming it’s not their responsibility like when my suitcase was damaged after a 20hr flight/s when I got home and I still hadn’t gone through customs as the lost baggage area is usually in the baggage hall, but find a staff member to direct you if you can’t find it. I also carry any and all medication in my carry on luggage even if it’s enough for 3 months away, just in case my baggage gets lost. I hope this clarifies my intent. Take care.
Me searching for the receipt of my clothes which my grandfather owned from 70s
75% of my wardrobe is vintage. I hear you.
@@a.b.creatorme too. I’m always nervous to check a bag
@@marlenef777I checked a bag on a U.S. airline and it had a whole character’s outfit and human hair wig and stage make up and I was doing a show in San Diego just a one night thing, not a paid gig as I had paid gigs in my country, but I have always a day job, so that I can feed myself to pay for what I really love to do, anyway his outfit was a safari suit from the 70’s but the whole thing was irreplaceable to me, San Diego was going to be 5th country I had performed him in including my own 4 of those for money but it was never loads of money not enough to live on. Anyway they lost my bag, I had 3 days until the gig, I said to them I don’t care about anything else, but the character stuff was irreplaceable and could they please help, I was practically begging them. I didn’t even go shopping total forgot that bit, as I was so stressed about the potential loss of one of my beloved characters who I had been doing for about 10yrs then, and he always wore the same outfit, but also his wig and handlebar moustache also made from human hair would have been able to be replaced, but the wig no way. I was beside myself, they finally found it and dropped it off to me the morning of the gig, I have never felt more relieved in my life, since that day I never check in bags that have my character’s in. I had no finger nails left from biting them all.
The receipt is for the replacement clothes, that you can buy at the vintage store

Cash Rules Everything Around Me
Probably because they dont want to pay out
souless corporations
It actually does work when my dad came to India his luggage was delayed so we emailed the airline(it was air Canada) so we got the money
We told about every item that was in the luggage and told how necessary things were there in the luggage and had to buy new ones
Oh and we got the money in 2 weeks
Wow...we live and learn I had was to wear my grandmother dress to go back to the airport on one occasion due to my languages was delayed...they got away not anymore.
Thank you

Also make a copy of your receipts. They sometimes like to play that "That's not what it said" game
Which receipts are you referring to
@@meg.h. Where she buys the stuff and turns in the receipts for reimbursement from the airline
Clothing, and if the delay / cancellation is long enough, food and hotel
As with anything that has a vested interest in denying / screwing you for their own pocket, document EVERYTHING.
The only time this happened to me, I *told* them they didn't have the bags for the entire flight. There was a problem with our plane and they had us change gates. From the gate, I could see they hadn't brought any baggage over, and as we boarded I pointed it out to the flight attendant, who assured me it was taken care of. Cue 200 people at the destination baggage carousel waiting for nothing.
@epbrown01 did you ever get your luggage back ?
@@ryanparkhurst5718 The next day, but I had to stay overnight.
I had my bag delayed by Lufthansa last year. They also had a policy about filling reimbursing costs of toiletries but only offered 50% for clothes. I was traveling to Norway in December. Thankfully I had my coat, but I needed to purchase replacements of everything else. When I finally got the link to submit receipts, I could only upload one small file. I put pictures of all my receipts onto a PowerPoint slide and played around with the exported file size until it was accepted by the form. Airlines really do treat you like nothing when they mess up.

Okay she isn't wrong but it's the fact she makes it look like the workers are just evily scheming to not give you money despite the fact it doesn't come from their money-
I dont think people are understanding my comment 😭 I'm not saying they dont do this, its the fact she makes it seem like it was the workers idea and not what she is most likley encouraged and told to do by the company
I think it’s probably more meant to represent the business, practices not the employees.
So glad you said this, I thought the same.
Possibly because they are trained to play CYA for the airline?
No but the dam people working act like it’s coming from their wallet.
@@wdwerker perhaps
You'd be surprised. I've been lied to by employees for lesser recourse. Like a Publix grocery manager tried to correct the price for an item that didn't ring up for the amount it should. I told her I was aware of the Publix Promise, which entitles me to getting the item for free. Also, some fast food employees act like they get a commission for every packet of condiment they don't give you.
"reimburse" is the bigger problem. they assume you can afford to replace your items in the first place. Most people can't afford to!😭
its not their money?
@@chip_pawzz who do you mean by "their?" Your question is unclear.
I mean maybe the full 3800, but no, most people who can afford a plane ticket can afford to replace their luggage. not everyone's that broke, just the people our age
Most people are not broke and bad with money
If you cant afford you shouldnt be flying lol
Flyers need to check this individually. Last time I read it was $500 and you have to have a receipt for the contents. When our bags were late we received $75 in compensation for future flight per filed bag/passenger, so make sure passengers file individually. We were given nice bags of amenities like toothbrush toothpaste, hair brush, mouthwash, Etc we had to return the next day for a car rental anyway and our bags were there in the morning.
Thanks for a real reply
Why would anyone have a receipt for every single item they have?? Did you really read the fine print??
@ASmith-jn7kf I have had to file for lost/damaged goods before. Same with renters insurance after a fire.
Alternate ending:
“I don’t get paid enough to know any of this. Goodbye”
*credits start rolling*
My bag was lost for three months. They told me they couldn’t find it after only 15 hours. They made me jump through hoops to make sure they continued to search for it and they only compensated me for 50 bucks for items stolen out of my bag.. it was missing for three months. …. American Airlines.
@gabrieleClare what hoops did you have to jump through inorder to make sure that they continued to search for your lost luggage ? Where was your luggage?
Was anything missing from the bags when you finally got it back?
Sue.
This is true. Iberia Airlines lost my luggage while I was on a cruise in Europe. It’s just that it takes an entire year for them to send the money.
you may get a response like: so what, sue me? Miss, I have told you there is nothing I can do. If you want I can give you the ECO’s contact number. It is never like this simple to deal with airline, travel agent, bank customer service etc.
They dont speak that way. It is how u approach the agent is when they will call security. Harassment towards them vocally and blaming them for something they were not present at your dept flight because your bag didnt make it, is just plain rude.
You'll probably get punched in the face using this strategy
“She doesn’t know I know this trick. Watch this” calls a airstrike
Chances are the attendants don't read the fine print and will have no clue what you are talking about. They will spend 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do, 10 min calling a manager to help them, 30 min waiting for a manager to become available, and another 10 minutes of the manager trying to find and read the fine print. Wasting an hour of your time.
Erika is there any recourse against institutions being intentionally slow?
Flight attendant: Why are you looking off into the distance?
"Mam you bought this crappy flight for 15 bucks"
Is there any flight in the world that costs only 15 dollars ? I'm asking cause I don't know
@@ayagamal3963idk maybe flights from sf airport to Oakland airport or smth those airports are separated by the ocean and are near each other
The $3500 is for baggage that is never found, not for general expenses and reimbursement. If they do give you payment for interim expenses, then that amount will come out of the payout. And it is a maximum of $3500, dependent upon the cost and age of items in the bag, as well as the bag.
Correct......it is funny how ppl dont really read it entirely and only read a section out of their convenince
From the DOT website: “Airlines are required to compensate passengers for reasonable, verifiable, and actual incidental expenses that they may incur while their bags are delayed”
This is why I don't check bags. Everything goes in my hiking pack that is a carry on size. No waiting around for luggage, worrying it will get lost. It stays with me all the time. And I have saved about $800 on baggage fees by using my hiking pack as a carry on
the fact that she was wayyyy too oddly specific for explanation 😂😂
I had to deal with my entire suite of winter snowboarding gear getting delayed a couple years ago and American ended up paying for over $1000 of items for me. I had a dated lift ticket, so if I didn't get to ride the first day, it would be a loss. I don't think I even had to explain that to them, though.
How long did it take to receive a reimbursement check?
How did you get your luggage back, and where was it ?
“She doesn’t know I know this trick”
*casually pulling a 9 out of her pocket*
Most people on both sides of the counter don't know the law. There are so many laws that a room full of lawyers don't know/don't understand the laws.
“Yeah the check is in the mail kid don’t worry” 😂
Also put a tracker in your luggage
Absolute big brain move
There is *no way* they would even listen to you in France 😂
but a similiar law exists in all of Europe
The sarcastic response "Look at the weather. What did you expect?" was dead on. 😭
Don't ever rely on someone to read fine print for you. Make sure you read it yourself for certain companies.
Exactly 💯
Does the same apply if your luggage was check and you were unknowingly placed on standby, then did not have a flight. So my luggage was one place and I was somewhere else.
Some say that cheque is still being prepared…
Erica these tips are wonderfully helpful! Plz do tutorials for Frontier Airlines as they are notoriously bad with refunds for sickness, delays, cancellation, etc.

Hey Erica!
I have been a subscriber for a while and I could really use your help!
I’m a young broke married college student. I signed up as a student partner for a summer storage company for other college students. I did everything… got the storage unit, hired workers, took inventory, etc… only to be scammed and never receive my share/ % in full.
What do you suggest I do/ any advice on route I should take?

@@natalina8593this is why I am afraid of flying, because I have heard so many stories of airlines losing peoples luggage, and then the people never get their luggage back. Like this is my worst fear, the airline losing my luggage, and then I don't get my luggage back. What is this fear called? So you think that I am weird for having this fear? Why or why not? Do you have any tips/advice for me, as to what I can do to reassure myself, that the airlines won't lose my luggage. And if they do happen to lose my luggage, what tips/advice do you have for me to reassure me, that the airlines will find my lost luggage. Thank you. I greatly appreciate it. I also have autism.

All my bags were delayed for the first two days of my Holliday, and the airport just said go out and buy whatever essentials you need… we spent £50 on clothes for the first day.. you don’t need to talk them down sometimes they are genuinely sorry and tell you this stuff without tricking you
Hehe “NEXT” really got me
Internet lawyers totally give the best advice!….right?
As a common traveler, I will use this a lot. Thank you! New sub!
there genuinely need to be laws forcing them to be up front about this, no more fine print, when you talk to them they should be by law forced to list your options and what you are entitled to.
It's really really sad u have to play a game with them to get what is rightfully owed u!

This just wouldn't happen, and they don't need to compensate you for the cost of new items. They would compensate you for the value of the item and as they would be classes as used it would be considerably less then the cost brand new.
I recently had this happen over Christmas and I got reimbursed within 30 days
“Checks in the mail” never seeing that
guys, just say you have medication or some sort of medication in your luggage and they HAVE to get it to you within 24 hours because its Medication
