This form is used when luggage goes missing during or after a flight. It initiates the search process and establishes the basis for a compensation claim if the bags are never located. The airline uses the submitted details to trace, track, and recover missing baggage.
Travelers must submit the form if their baggage remains missing five days after the flight. Required supporting documents include the airline ticket, baggage claim check, and excess baggage receipts (if applicable). North American passengers mail the completed form to Air Canada's Montreal office. Travelers from other regions send it to the nearest Air Canada office.
The form covers claim check numbers, weight of missing bags, declarations of excess valuation, baggage routing history, and a signed solemn declaration. Completeness and accuracy are critical in every section. Gaps or errors can slow the investigation even when Air Canada staff are working diligently on your case.
Baggage liability is governed by international conventions and Air Canada's conditions of carriage. Compensation depends on the value and nature of the missing items. If you need to report goods damaged during courier shipment, a UPS damage claim form follows a similar process. For other missing items, a lost property form covers a broader range of property claims.
