Glasgow Airport - lost luggage
Glasgow Airport warn that "checked in baggage can be delayed for a number of reasons including tight connections, customs and excise processes, or security requirements, but sometimes baggage is simply delayed due to weather or infrastructure and resource challenges along the way."
If you have lost your luggage, you will need to complete the following steps:
Property Irregularity Report (PIR) before leaving the airport, as without this document your airlines Customer Services team may not be able to process your claim. You will also need to keep a copy of the completed PIR
On completion of the form, most airlines provide a reference code which can be used to trace your baggage. Your PIR reference is a combination of 5 letters and 5 digits, example: GLAZZ12345
Some airlines allow you to track the status of your baggage here - you will need your PIR reference number in order to track your missing luggage
The airport asks if your baggage has not been returned to you within seven days from the date it was reported, you should contact your airlines handling agents.
