So i came back from skiing in France a little more than a week ago. Long story short, delta lost my bag with all my ski shit in it. Its been 11 days and no word on the bag so i have to file this claim form with everything in my bag. (saga, Jiberish, tall t,s... etc.)They are asking for receipts of my stuff in the bag to reimburse me. Im 18 years old, why the fuck would i be keeping my receipts. So down to the point of this thread, has this happened to anyone? im not about to find the prices of all my shit if im going to get my bag back soon.
Also could anyone tell me how much G-pants retail for? Im not sure what to put down for that.
a bit bummed out by all of this, because 90% of the shit i cant get back even with money.

Anyways fuck delta and thanks for your help ns.

basically airlines are going to fuck you over when it comes to losing or damaging your shit.

my sisters helmet got dented pretty badly in a bag a few years back, after only a day or 2 of use. when we brought it to the desk, they said they needed proof that the dent was done by the airline.

they ask for things they know you dont have, so they dont have to reimburse you. basically, you're fucked.

sorry, i wish i could help, but there isnt a whole lot you can do, except hope your bag shows up.

when i was moving from Maryland to Cali my clothes that weren't in the moving truck i put in a suitcase on the plane, they lost that bag so i was left with one set of clothes for 4 days until they located the bag. its irritating to deal with the luggage people.

It's because they are all immigrants. No hate to Mexicans, but damn, they need to learn to sort stuff right, and do it nicely. They break and lose your shit, then the airline gets pissed when you file a claim because their less than minimum wage luggage people loose your stuff.

I work the front desk of a hotel at a ski resort, it's incredible how many times guests show up and airlines have lost all their stuff. It usually shows up within a couple days though, I can't even imagine how bad it would suck to be on vacation and not have your gear for the first few days. Bummer it hasn't shown up yet, good luck dude.

did you have travel insurance? that would be one of your first ports of call.

also you don't need receipts. several photos of you with that item (eg. a particular pair of skis) along with a statutory declaration from a friend/parent/teacher saying they know that you own that item will do the job.

You're lucky they'll reimburse you for clothes at all.
A friend of mine lost her ski bag on the way back from the US to Aus andthey would only reimburse her for one pair of skis and bindings (she had 2 + 3 pairs of bindings) and poles, no ski clothes, helmet or waxing equipment as under their regulations you are only allowed one pair of skis, bindings and poles nothing else even if it under the weight limit. She lost close to $3000 worth of stuff. You are quite lucky.

ahh this fucking blows, i figured they would eventually find it, but its not looking too good.
The worst part is the shit thats in there is all sold out now, and sponsor shit. Idk how i can explain that to them, because it does bump up the value.

renters/homeowner insurance is a very good investment....even if you're 18. a lot of policies would cover you in this situation.

i claim like $5,000 worth of shit and only pay i think $27/a month (it's taken out of my paycheck so not sure)

Delta lost my suitcase last week flying from salt lake to philly. i was able to get it back the next night but it's still annoying. they suck. hope you get your stuff back soon. the claims process must be such a hassle.

yes it sucks when things like this happen.


but in all honesty the fact that you get your bag at all is amazing. if you take into full consideration what goes into getting that bag into the belly of an airplane. having something like this be out of the ordinary is nothing short of extraordinary.


but yes, fuck delta. for other things though.

I can't really think of a legitimate excuse on how they can "lose" a suitcase. It spends the whole time on a conveyor belt. Its all automated. Unless the company hires thieves, then its not a lost luggage. And the fact that every time i call to ask about it, im connected to some guy in India(not being prejudice)who has no idea what the fuck is going on.I would understand if it was maybe a couple days. But its been 2 weeks with no updates.

most of the times i have lost or had delayed baggage it has been because of flight fuck-ups, delays and that sort of bullshit. your bags could have been held by tsa? its happened to me before and the airline doesnt really tell you when its being held and searched.. or at least they didnt tell me anything until i got my bag back and found my shit in an absolute mess

the organization and ability of the workers and their baggage-not-losing ability has zero reflection on the pilots.....

delta is the worst fucking airline in existence. My family booked a flight to maui a year in advance, all stoked, everything is ready to go. So we show up to the terminal, try to check in, they say "we are taking people with paper tickets last." well, we had paper tickets because we bought so far in advance, and that was the only thing the travel site sold. after asking multiple times, and getting straight ignored by the bitch at the ticket counter not letting us check in and having people who showed up hours after us get on the plane, they tell us "oh, sorry, we overbooked. our next flight is next week." ffffuuu......

my dad proceeded to curse out that bitch and we got 1000 bucks and free tickets on another airline the next day. so i guess things worked out, but damn delta blows
