Baggage assistance

All the contacts and everything you need to know should your baggage be delayed, tampered with or lost.

DAMAGED BAGGAGE

If your baggage was damaged during the journey, go to the Assistance Baggage office of the arrival city airport where the personnel on hand will do everything they can to help you.  If you need to send a claim for damages be sure to write to us within 7 days of filing the Damaged Property Report (D.P.R.) by writing to complaintsUS@ita-airways.com

IF YOU LIVE IN A EU MEMBER STATE

Depending on the type and extent of damage to your baggage, ITA Airways will give you a coupon towards the purchase of ITA Airways tickets* or a new piece of baggage with the same characteristics as the one that was damaged chosen from a catalog of merchandise produced by a leading luggage manufacturer, which will be delivered to your home (at some airports, this new baggage will be given to you directly at the airport). 

If you live in Italy and want to explore other options than those we offer, send an email to complaintsUS@ita-airways.com within 7 days of having filed the Property Irregularity Report (P.I.R.) or within 21 days of having taken delivery of your bag if the damage was ascertained after a delayed delivery. 
Remember to attach:

  • A signed detailed letter
  • The P.I.R. issued by the Baggage Assistance office
  • The receipt of your flight ticket and/or boarding card
  • A declaration of the type and extent of damage written by a specialized store, only if the damage was ascertained after a delayed delivery

If you do not live in Italy, get in touch with the Client Relations Office nearest you.

IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE EU

Please go to the Lost & Found office in the airport upon your arrival. They will open a Property Irregularity Report (P.I.R.) and will give you a copy. Please contact us at  complaintsUS@ita-airways.com  within 7 days of having filed the P.I.R. or within 21 days after delivery should you discover damages after receiving delayed luggage.

Remember to include the following in your written claim:
