Luggage Insurance

Our Luggage Insurance covers you against delayed or lost luggage, without having to provide any receipt about the contents of your luggage.

A baggage will be considered as delayed if it is returned to you at least one day after you arrive at your final destination.

A baggage will be considered as lost, if it has not been returned within 21 days of your arrival at your final destination.

For more details, check your Terms and Conditions.

In order to initiate a search for your baggage, you should fill out a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) at the Lost Found office at the airport of arrival, before leaving the restricted baggage collection area.

There, a Volotea representative will collect information about your baggage and the contact details for entering them into the World Tracer automatic baggage locating system. Once the report has been filed, a reference number will be generated (composed of letters and numbers in the following format: ABCD123456), which should be kept for following up with the case. Please use this number when you speak to Volotea in reference to your case.

Some of Volotea's airports do not have an automated service for generating the PIR. In these cases, it can be filled out manually from the Lost Found and they will see that it is sent to the corresponding department for creating the PIR on our World Tracer server.

In such a scenario, you should contact Volotea via their online form to get your PIR: https://www.volotea.com/en/contact/complaints-lostbaggage/

A Property Irregularity Report (PIR) is an official document filed with an airline or transport company to report issues or discrepancies related to a passenger's baggage or personal property.

It is typically used when luggage is lost, delayed, damaged, or delivered in an incorrect condition.

The PIR records essential details such as the passenger information, baggage description, flight details, and the nature of the irregularity, serving as a formal basis for investigation and compensation claims. The PIR is a reference number composed of letters and numbers in the following format: ABCD123456.
