File a claim for any delay or loss of baggage at the airport

An airplane is a fast, comfortable and safe form of transport. Air travel is becoming more and more popular every year. However, first-time travelers often struggle to complete many formalities. Receiving luggage at the airport is one such problem.

How does the baggage arrive on the desired flight?

In the picking department, all the bags are sorted for the desired flights. This is also done in automated mode by scanning the baggage tags.

The luggage was not on the belt: what to do?

According to global statistics, around 70,000 pieces of luggage are lost every day. In addition, 97% of the bags are in the first week after their loss. If you are traveling with Qatar Airways, the airline is responsible for lost baggage, although such situations usually occur due to the fault of airport staff.

Delayed baggage: What procedure should you follow to resolve the problem?

In the event that a passenger of the airline Qatar Airways arrives at his destination without his checked baggage, the carrier assures him to do his best to find it for him.

In fact, delayed baggage is generally located within 24 hours of the flight, and can be delivered as quickly as possible, if local customs regulations allow it.

Qatar Airways notably ensures the reimbursement of the costs generated by this situation (subject to conditions: within reason).

On the other hand, if the baggage is ultimately lost, the airline company will pay its passenger compensation, in accordance with the Montreal Convention, in the States which have ratified it.

What if the luggage is lost or damaged?

Passengers’ checked baggage must be able to withstand the rigors of air travel. Therefore, each piece of luggage must be well packed, to be strong enough.

In certain situations, it sometimes happens that upon arrival, the passenger discovers that their luggage is damaged. In this case, the traveler should inform the Qatar Airways baggage services counter before leaving the arrival terminal. Otherwise, the latter will no longer be able to use the “My luggage” option to file a written complaint.

Note that this case of litigation cannot be the subject of a complaint beyond seven days after the date of receipt of the baggage concerned.

Lost objects

In the event that baggage is not found on arrival, the airline company undertakes to compensate its passenger for the dispute encountered.

However, if upon arrival at their destination, the passenger realizes that they have left or misplaced a personal item on board their Qatar Airways flight, in the departure hall or in the airline lounge, they should immediately notify the Qatar Airways baggage service counter at the airport, which will assist in locating it.

Note that Qatar Airways declines all responsibility for items lost in this situation.

Contact Qatar Airways Customer Service immediately by calling their customer service phone number or online to report lost or damaged baggage.

Qatar Airways has implemented a search option, which can be used by passengers. This makes it possible to find all the objects left in the cabin of the aircraft or on the premises of the airport.

However, be aware that lost passports and identity documents can be handed over to local airport authorities.

Goods not claimed by passengers are generally retained for 30 days. Beyond this limit, these items will be disposed of or donated. This may be subject to change in accordance with each applicable regulation.

  5. EC

    I flew from London Heathrow to Aukland via Doha on 20/01/23. My baggage did not arrive in Aukland. I registered the missing bag and was told I would be contacted by the baggage handler when it arrived. After several days (during which it was impossible to contact the baggage handler or the airline -nobody responded to calls / emails) I was finally told by your messaging service that the bag was in Aukland but still I could not contact the baggage handler to establish whether it was through customs and could be delivered to me. Eventually I drove (from elsewhere in New Zealand) to the airport to collect it, thus wasting a day of my holiday.
    On collecting the bag, half the contents were wet. The suitcase was damaged.
    I need to make a claim for:
    1. the significant delay to my receipt of the baggage (Thursday 2nd February when my flight had arrived on 24th January).
    2. the damage to the content and to the case itself
    3. the replacement clothes I had to buy given the lack of my own luggage for 9 days
    4. the massive inconvenience and travel costs associated with having to collect the bag
    It is impossible still to contact anyone at the airline to facilitate this. Please contact me urgently to arrange.

    Writing on an issue I have been dealing with Qatar airways baggage services for the last 3 months.

    I was on Air Canada flight AC058 from Toronto to Doha on 23rd December and Doha to Colombo on Qatar airways flight QR658 24th December. However; the AC058 departed late from Toronto missed the connection to Colombo and was on next flight QR664 to Colombo Sri lanka on 25th December. When I landed in Sri Lanka on Christmas day 25th December I didn’t receive my luggage and baggage services said it should be delivered next day. However; the luggage was misplaced for 15 days and was delivered to my temporary address just 2 days before I left Sri Lanka back to Toronto Canada.

    AS PER PASSENGER PROTECTION RIGHTS – I need to contact the last air line to claim about the luggage delay as Air Canada says it’s the responsibility of Qatar airways. Luggage was delivered on 8th January and I was out of town that time..
    My issue is I have already written to Qatar airways customer service about this delay in January, and I only heard from thee Colombo office 8th April, offering 372 dollars as payment. I hope you understand this is not the way to deal with an issue after 3 months. the agony I had to go through emailing back and forth asking for information. It was a full fare ticket I paid one way to Colombo to Sri Lanka as I had the return on Etihad and I had no issues with the luggage on my return flight

    This is not the way to deal with a delayed luggage of 15 days. flight landed in Colombo on Christmas day 25th December and it was delivered on Sunday 8th January.

    Do you think it is fair to be treated like this to a passenger who is on holiday. Just compensating with USD 372 for the expenses that’s the worst way to treat a customer.

    Looking forward for a favorable reply.

    Thank you in advance.

    Have a lovely day.

    First they lost my bag then they found it next day and asked me to drive to the airport (1 full hr) to pick it up. it was damaged !! they asked me to fill-up a form and i did. then no answer. it has been 2 weeks now.

  8. Antony howarth

    My name is Tony, My baggage was delayed by 8 days – i had to purchase some essentials which obviously cost me money. I have submitted a claim but I’m still waiting for a response. During the delayed baggage debacle they wouldn’t take responsibility or help me to locate it and now they are avoiding compensation. They are the worlds worst airline by a miles

    2 Apple computers were stolen out of my bag, whilst my bag was in the custody of Qatar Airlines when I flew from Doha to Johannesburg on 18 December 2022.

    After waiting over 2 months for “feedback” that never came, this issue is still not resolved and Qatar Airlines have (today) referred the case to their LOST & FOUND department, even though the laptops wee STOLEN, not LOST.

    I am VERY disappointed in the non existent service, incompetence and lack of care displayed by the world’s “Best” Airline!

    I sent this email (below) to Qatar Airlines on 24 January 2023:

    Qatar Airways Complaint
    Please receive this email as a formal customer service complaint. The e-mail thread (below) is self- explanatory:

    2 Apple laptops were stolen out of one of my carry-on bags. Photos of the bag have already been provided, as requested. From comparing the weight of my bag before and after the incident, it is clear that the laptops were removed from my bag. Both Apple chargers were still in my bag/ but no Apple laptops. No zip ties were removed from any of the other bags; only the bag (with the laptops) that had been specially taken off me by a Qatar Airways staff member in Doha. The Durban airport security staff (and the report filed) attests to these facts.
    In Doha, in the boarding lounge, just before leaving for Durban via Johannesburg, a Qatar Airways staff member took the bag (with the two laptops) from me into her custody, saying that there was not enough space in the overhead lockers and that the bag had to go into the hold of the airplane. Between Doha and receiving my bag on the turnstile in Durban, the two laptops were stolen from my bag. In Durban, I immediately noticed that my bag had been violated. The double zip-ties that I used to lock the bag were missing. I had the inconvenience of immediately having to file a report concerning this theft.
    It has been around 40 days since the incident and even with regular follow up from me, and from the staff in Durban, I have still not heard from Qatar Airways.
    I met with Qatar Airways staff in Durban:
    Just before catching my Qatar Airways flight to return to Brazil, I asked the Qatar Airways Durban staff (once again) why there was no progress on this case. I spoke to Simphiwe, Trenesha Naidoo (Qatar Airways Duty Officer) and also Lavendra (Trenesha’s Supervisor). They told me that Qatar Airways has not responded and that they were still waiting on Qatar Airways to get back to them; and that I should send an email to you, which I am now doing.
    I met with Qatar Airways staff in Doha:
    Today in Doha, in the transfer area, I met with Faith and also Imran Khan (Qatar Airways Customer Service Duty Supervisor and supervisor to Faith).
    Faith gave me the impression that she could do nothing. She said that this case concerned a different division. Her position was that I should follow up with emails. My position was that I had been following up with emails for around 40 days and nothing has happened. I requested to see her supervisor.
    Her supervisor, Mr. Khan seemed to give me the impression that he was sure that the theft probably happened in Durban, outside of his control. My position was that the bag left my custody in Doha; and how can anyone know for sure where the theft took place. I am sure that both the evidence of the two computers (I had to take them out for bag scanning) and also the evidence of them being stolen is likely captured on Qatar Airways video footage. Mr. Khan asked me how long I had been in South Africa since the theft, and I said around 40 days. His position was that I had a lot of time to follow up with the Durban management. However, it’s clear from the e-mail string below that the Durban management were waiting on a Qatar Airways response, and so was I. I was following up on a regular basis. I also received a phone call regarding the theft, so I believed (for some time – but I no longer) believe this) that progress was being made by Qatar Airways behind the scenes.
    For some reason Qatar Airways has still not given me a proper response. Mr Khan confirmed that I should send you an email, as per the advice I received yesterday from South Africa. I asked Mr Khan for his e-mail address so that he could be copied into this email, but he declined to give it to me saying (unlike the South African management) that his email was for internal use only.
    I had removed the label from the bag from which the two Apple laptops were stolen. Mr. Khan photographed the label and said that he would be corresponding with you independently. He did not ask me for my name or for my email address, implying that he had all the info he needed from the label.
    These two Apple laptops had vital/ valuable/ irreplaceable information on them. And I spent hours inconveniently having to change passwords (for bank access etc.) on my initial arrival in South Africa to further protect my data. Both laptops are used for business purposes, greatly inconveniencing me – because part of my time in Durban involved me doing business.
    What makes me especially angry is that the computers were taken off me by a Qatar staff member in the boarding lounge – I had no choice but to give custody over to Qatar Airlines (whom I trusted – at the time). Normally I would keep computers in my hand for this very reason. After my bag was taken from me, I noticed that others on the same flight were allowed to take their bags on the plane with them!
    I am very frustrated/ angry with Qatar Airways to say the least. Qatar Airways prides itself with being the number one airline. I paid a premium to fly with Qatar expecting the very best service and security.
    I lived in the Middle East for 7 years and. I have used; I know all of the airlines in the Middle East quite well, or so I thought.
    The very poor Qatar Airways customer service I have received to date has been very surprising to me. The Durban Qatar Airways management said to me that I should get a response from you within 7 days. I look forward to your urgent response, and in particular I look forward to your action regarding this matter.
    Thanking you in advance,

    Michael

  12. Carlos

    My Suitcase was lost on my flight from Doha to Sydney. Menzies baggage service in Sydney filled a Mishandled baggage report and promised they would call in 24 hours. 8 days later they have not called, they do not ask my calls, their voicemail is full, and they do not reply to my emails. Where are the customer rights? How can a so incompetent company be hired for these services? What options are we left? Stop travelling? Really annoying

    • Karan

      Same thing happened to me . I took qatar from doha to Philippines, and my luggage got missing, unable to track where it is. They told me they will give me an update in 1-2days latest. It’s been 5days so far. No one has called me. I have called/emailed them so many time. No response..
      & I need my insurance claim report asap. No one is helping. Even at the airport they don’t want to help.

      Really horrible service.

      • Karan

        Worst thing was I was stranded with no clothes no change of socks nothing for 5days. I had to use my own money to buy new clothes just to survive . And continuously pay laundry

    • Kalsoom Khan

      We had lost 15 bags. Recieved our 14 bags damaged after a month tried to contact for help because of damaged and missing items and our 1 last bag. Looking forward with a honest and helpful reply

  13. Zubiya Nazish

    I booked Qatar airways for my travel from India to Switzerland because I am traveling with my 2 years daughter. When I reach to Zurich, I did not receive the stroller of my daughter.
    When I ask to Qatar airways at beginning they told me they will search for the missing stroller and send to my house.
    After waiting more than 2 weeks I did not hear anything when I write an email to (ZRHLLQR@ch.qatarairways.com) they just send an automatic reply but did not hear anything about my missing stroller.
    Unfortunately, we are facing lots of problems without the stroller. we are taking our daughter in our hands to daycare and unfortunately, nowadays it is raining which makes it more difficult to take our daughter outside without a stroller.
    Worst service ever I received when something is missing. ( I will not fly via Qatar)…

  14. Nasim

    It has Been 1 weeks without my bag this is really painful for me. I dont have my clothes and personal staffs especially my books and some valuable souvenirs from my grandpapa. I have arrived 4 p.m. 13th October from Iran (IKA) to Frankfort. When arriving filled the claiming baggage form in Frankfort Airport and after my tracing both in Iran and Germany there is no clear answer until now.
    Qatar Airways baggage service has done nothing yet.

    • M Shenton

      I flew with Qatar on 27th dec 2022 with Christmas presents for gift in checked luggage. On arriving at my sons home I discovered every gift in my luggage had been opened and the main children’s gift had been stolen. Reported to Qatar who completely ignore my emails. At a loss now on how to proceed.

  15. NKEM MONDE-ANUMIHE

    I flew Qatar airways from Doha to Washington DC on 29 Sep 2022 and arrived without my checked in baggage. I filled a form and was assured it would arrive within 24 hours and delivered to my address. On 1 Oct l saw in the tracing link that it has been found. But uptil today 5 Oct it has not yet been delivered to me. I tried to contact the Baggage Servises Agent Nahla Ahsan and his/ her Team by phone, no one is picking the calls…just automated response. I sent several emails ..same response!
    THE AIRLINE OF THE YEAR 2022 NEEDS ANOTHER RATING…!

    • Jean

      What’s the need of filing this reply if you are not going to respond! Why again are you rated the Best Airline when baggage is lost and you don’t bother to respond! My bag from Washington DC to Nairobi Kenya is lost. No response till now & lines go straight to voicemail. The pain you’re causing is unfathomable! I don’t have the energy to fight with you any more. God wil see us through!

  17. Denise Burley

    I flew from Doha to Brisbane with 2 pieces of luggage arriving the 7th September. Arrived in Brisbane and only 1 piece of luggage arrived. We filed a report which took ages and because of this missed our connecting flight to Mackay. Have tried numerous times to contact the help desk via phone, email etc but all the website says “under tracing”. We have noticed they have entered the wrong tracking number on the report but there is no where to edit the form. I have had to do emergency shopping for a change of clothes. This is supposed to be a first class airline, but I would never use them again and I am dreading the return flight back to Doha and then UK.

    Shocking service

    • Chukwu

      Qatar airways damaged my new bag worth 600$ and there was no staff on ground to get my claim because their office was closed by the time I arrived Abuja from Esenboğa through 8 hours transit in Doha. I contacted customer service,they are telling me nonsense. Qatar Airways is also owing me 200$ for the hotel they never checked me in some few years back.They claimed that my nationality is not allowed to have transit visa,so why accept money? I reached out to the office that I bought that and asked for refund,but I never received refund.Qatar Airways tickets agents are criminals and they have horrible ground air service

  22. Nicolas Alison

    I have been waiting for 2 weeks now for my luggage and can get no response from Qatar Airways despite numerous emails to various addresses, half of which have blocked a reply.
    I will be contacting my lawyer if I do not get a reply soon.

  23. Ashraf Alsadat Hosseini Mozari

    I had a flight from Houston to Tehran (IKA) at 5th of July 2022. In IKA airport at 11pm I did not receive two of my 4-suitcases. I reported the missed luggage at same time to Airport luggage office (Saman Air Services) with file no. IKA2628071
    After so many tele-contacts, I received one suitcase after one week. But I had so many contacts to same office , walk-in to their office in airport (2 hours way from our house) and checking the suitcases by myself, giving the specification of missed suitcase to their staff, walk-in to Qatar office located in Airport and re-report the case , walk-in to Qatar Main office in Tehran and claim the case again and sending E-mail and message to Qatar office but despite of all above actions , I did not receive any reply from Qatar office (positive , negative or location of my suitcase) .
    Finally I had to come back home in Houston after one month without any reply from Qatar Airline.
    I had booked a flight to Doha in 4th of August 23:45 but they canceled the flight and made it earlier at 6:10 AM in 4th of August . this flight had more than one hour delay in IKA with an un-known reason and therefore I missed connection flight to Houston at 8:10 AM in Dohah.
    After about 5 hours standing and waiting in customer service section (with two tired 9 years old twin girls) I have been informed that there is only a flight at same time (8:10 AM) the day after and the worst thing was that they did not have any accommodation facilities (hotel of lounge area to rest) during this time.
    Therefore I preferred to select the other option even a difficult one, which was a flight to New York 4 hours later (totally 9 hours waiting in Dohah airport) and after another 9 hours layover in New York the last flight to Houston .
    But there was another problem: they did not inform me that I have to deliver my 6 suitcase in New York airport (terminal 8) and re-deliver them to another Airline (Jet Blue) in terminal 3 (160 USD rend a car) and move and re-locate them by myself which caused a very bad back pain for me .

    Flew on Aug 7th. My baggage is missing; no news about it from the services team, and I am not able to contact the airways in any way. Horrible service, I would not recommend qatar airways.

    • Asif Malik

      I am consistently asking for my baggage.

      Hi i didn’t receive my baggage it’s been three weeks now. Your dedicated baggage team never responds. Didn’t get any update on my missed baggage. Daily trying to speak with your customer care no response please help me.
      Me and my family badly disturbed due to this and it cost us huge in terms of budget for vacations. I am also seeking legal support for this mishandling. Please support me and pay the damages for this negligence.
      We are back from vacations and still after 26 days I didn’t receive any email, contact from your side. What are these services.

      • Asif Malik

        Thanks for didn’t reply for my any agony. I just need to inform that today I again visit lahore airport and finally found my baggage.
        Further I just contact to lodge my complaint for compensation. If possible please send me email or contact address.

    Left Manchester on the 21st July with Qatar Airways and its now 5th August and we still have no bags.
    Tried phoning and emailing but the customer service from Qatar is terrible
    Never fly with this airline

  26. Francisco Fernandes

    Very bad service by Qatar Airline was travelling Mumbai to Seattle on 7th June 2022 my bag dnt arrived at Seattle today its 27th July 2022 no reply from Qatar Airways team very bad service No more Qatar Airline in Future

  27. Mohammed Hussain

    Qatar baggage issues are painful and disgusting. Travelling back from Sydney to the UK and they have lost my baggage and the experience is as bad as everyone states in this thread. No number to call and then getting passed from pillar to post. Shambolic and literally left with thousands in electrics and clothing “under tracing”

    Does anyone know who we can go to outside of Qatar Airlines who clearly have bad systems and processes in place (or the lack off) to deal with such things. Answers on a postcard.

    ps. I have kept this rather tame versus how I actually feel right now.

    • Chris

      Hi. Contact Dnata on 02087456159. Call between 9:00am and 10:00pm. Best time in my experience is between 4:00pm and 7:00pm because they are less likely to answer at other times. Be persistent as you may need to call several times before they answer. Unfortunately there is no guarantee that you will get your bag immediately. I am still waiting to get any news on my bag which went missing on 04/07/2022. I hope they find it before the World Cup because Qatar Airways will definitely lose a few thousand bags during that time. As others are saying, I will never ever fly Qatar Airways again!

      I arrived in Kathmandu on 21 July and one of my luggage hasn’t arrived. It was showing as delayed on line but not anymore. No one picks up phone in Kathmandu office, worst service ever !!!
      If you charge £££ take responsibility of your actions !!!

  29. Julia Kapunkt

    One of the worst services I ever had.
    Flew over from Auckland to Sydney on 6th July but the flight was delayed twice. So in Sydney they changed my flight for myself but not for my checked-in luggages. From Sydney to Doha to Munich. There I immediately made a “Lost report”. They told me within a week they should find my luggages.

    It’s over a week, I’ve been calling, mailing, trying to reach someone via WhatsApp, Facebook,… noone responsed. No costume care. No service. Bad one! Never again with Qatar Airlines.

    Dear sir
    My luggage sent Heathrow to Kathmandu without tag number and I didn’t get my luggage in destination. I reported to PIR but 12 days gone no reply. To claim also I don’t have tag number please sort out

    Qatar Airways rating by whatever agency must be a fraud because the compact between a passenger and any airline is beyond the cabin, it must include all-around welfare and baggage delivery. On the latter, the airline is a total disaster. I flew into Manchester from Lagos on the 21st of June, 2022 but could not find my bags. I was aghast and immediately filed a report. By the next day, I got an email that one of my bags has been found and was on its way to my place in Sheffield, it arrived. Since then nothing has been known of my other bag. All communication channels was explored, none was helpful. It is either there would be no response or a reference back to a useless web address that is claiming that baggage is under tracing. Out of frustration, I returned to Manchester Airport twice without any headway. The phone numbers I was given would not be picked up. The customer service gave me some email addresses, no responses, ditto the WhatsApp channel. So disgusting, I had to send my daughter and her husband to the airline office in Nigeria, its same reference back. No feedback up till now, 22 days after arrival. I am fed up, I want to make claims. The PIR given to me at baggage on arrival cannot be delivered to the airport office, yet the online channels are not connecting to the form.
    Qatar Airways by my assessment is practically the worst I’d ever flown. The return journey seems scary now because of baggage safety. This is horrible. I will do whatever I can to discourage anyone from flying on this airline with a fraudulent image and appalling service. Can someone guide me to the means for my claim?

      Hiya

      Did you have any luck getting all your baggage?

      I arrived Heathrow on the 2nd August and my suitcase didn’t turn up.

      If you were successful I would appreciate any suggestions – I too live in Sheffield.

    My name is Nghi, booking no. KVAXCD, I transit to Qatar and Manchester to Isle of Man on Sunday 2 July. on 2 July around 2pm England time i arrived Manchester T2 and go to T3 standby flight to Isle of Man at 17:15, but unfortunately my flight cancel and i need claim back my baggage at T3 Manchester, and I cant find my baggage, I try to report to my last flight counter and airport people, they said can’t find my baggage and I need back to Ile of Man and report to Isle of man. After that I arrived to IOM on 3 July and report to counter, and few days later I try to inform Qatarair on facebook and live chat, but no people help me. On facebaook just ask me try to track baggage on website, I told them website cant track, it display as error, and live chat only: Hi, can I help you? ….. and done.

    • Dag Hartley

      This is becoming a scandal – I think Skytrax the Airline Rating Company should be informed as Qatar Airways was given their ‘best in the world’ award last year – but clearly they have underspent on customer service for baggage tracing – Skytrax need to be aware of this – I would advise people email Peter.Miller@skytrax.uk – so they are aware. Qatar Airways is a great airline when things go right, but when they do wrong, they make it very difficult for people to report, track and claim rightful compensation. Skytrax needs to know

    My partner travelled from Manchester to Perth via Doha on the 6th and 7th of July 2022. The problems started when the plane was delayed for 2 hours at Manchester airport. (which is a sorry story in itself!)
    On arrival at Doha, passengers were rushed onto the connecting flight to Perth, and their luggage was not.
    When it became apparent that her luggage was not on the plane, on arrival at Perth, my partner sought out a (Menzies) employee and reported the situation. That employee took a report (but failed to give a receipt with the necessary information) and informed my partner that the luggage would be on the next flight to Perth from Doha, in 24 hours time. It would then be sent by courier or taxi to her home. 5 days later, she is still waiting. Every attempt to lodge an on-line report, or obtain an up-date has been met with a dead end. Menzies were contacted this afternoon, and were of no help whatsoever. I have been amazed at the similarity of her lack of success and the experiences of other complainants in this forum. She plans to travel to the U.K. next year, but it certainly will not be with Qatar!!!!!!!! In despiration she is going to Perth international terminal tomorrow to attempt to resolve the situation. After reading of the experiences of the other contributors , I hold out very little hope that she will have any success.

    Doha seems to be the point at which baggage goes missing and this leads me to the conclusion that baggage handlers at the Hamad International Airport who work for Qatar Airways are stealing luggage knowing perfectly well that Qatar Airways will do nothing about it. I am a victim too. They don’t steal from other airlines which pass through Doha because they know that there will be a proper investigation. Qatar Airways are so noncommittal and will not investigate. I am in the UK and will be bringing this to the attention of my local MP who will mention it in parliament. So Qatar Airways will need to act unless they want this to be publicised more than it already has.

      worst airline service in the world

  35. Juzer Vasi

    We arrived from London to Singapore on 29th Jun and reported 1 missing baggage out of 4, it’s more than 7 days now and there is no status update from Qatar airways nor from SATS, their 24/7 support lines are busy all the time it seems and even if you are willing to wait on line they disconnect you after sometime on the other hand if we use the Whatsapp service for tracking that is even worse, this is directly from QA, till date I have not recvd any response to my emails, phone calls and chat. Terrible !

    QA is no one in not resolving customers dispute as well.

  36. David Jarreta

    I landed in Singapore from Doha on 04 July 2022 and did not find my checked in suitcase. I immediately filed a Property Irregularity Report with the Lost & Found SATS service at Singapore Changi airport and I am since 04 July 2022 sending emails, calling and trying all possible means of communication with both SATS and QATAR but neither replied and the hotlines would leave me waiting for hours before dropping the line. There is no response!! There is no customer care!! This is unacceptable!!!!
    Both Qatar Airways and Singapore Changi Sats are being irresponsible and failing to provide the service they are supposed to provide.
    It is to be expected from Qatar Airways, the most unreliable airline I have ever experienced. But from Sats I expected at least a professional approach. It is my last time flying Qatar for sure.
    Qatar & SATS, please reply!! Be professional!! Take on responsibility of the business you sold!!

  37. Clark Bannister

    Flew from Damman to London via Doha on the 30th June arriving into Heathrow on the 1st July. Original flight from Damman (QR1155) was delayed so we missed our connecting flight (BA122). I was surprised to be told in Doha that my bag had automatically been transferred to my next flight when it had already departed and i hadn’t been booked onto another flight yet? However i was assured at check in that my bag was on the flight (QR00003) with me but low and behold, when i arrived at Heathrow my luggage was nowhere to be seen and baggage services had no record of my bag (157339022) on the system.

    6 days later and my luggage is ‘Baggage under tracing’. Scandalous service and communication from a major airline.

    • kamran khan

      my flight was from newyork to islamabad.
      my baggage doest arrive. i filed a claim for lost baggage

  38. Ann DCruz

    My sister and I arrived Barcelona from Doha on 1st June. She got her luggage but I didn’t and we checked in at the same time. It is 4th June and I have still not received any response from Qatar regarding my lost luggage (Tag No. Bag MH619355). Many of us on the flight QR0137 from Doha lost our luggage. Sent a message through the WhatsApp link given to me and the message I received that they have sent me an sms which is untrue.
    Looks like this is a common occurrence with Qatar

    • Stephen Neighbour

      Flight QR024 late out of Manchester 2 hours, baggage file #MNL2601842 bag tag QR840833.
      This has to be the worst customer/baggage service ever in my 40 years of travel.
      Trying to sort my wife’s baggage out for her because even the Philippines customer service not answering, it like they know they have a problem but won’t admit it.
      All the comments are the same, the communication is broken but in fact I have a feeling that they don’t care.
      Fun thing is all stems in Doha so Doha is the problem, how the dickens does an airline fail so badly in their own base??????
      Last time I will fly Qatar and im gold in the privileges, looks like Emirates will be pick up my vote and business in future. I will be cancelling my membership when wife returns, totally ruined her holiday and Qatar took no responsibility, any one feel like a class action?

      • Paula Gifford

        My Daughter arrived in Athens the 3rd July 2022 via Doha and now has no luggage I have also tried
        every number, email and what’s App and no reply also has so far ruined her holiday
        She has gone back to the airport twice and just showed to a room full of cases and told to see if any of them are hers ( Unfortunately not) Not to mention She said she could have taken any bag and no one would have checked I cannot even see how you can claim compensation for lost luggage
        Definately up for a class action

        • O Thehabey

          I am having the same problem. I lost one bag on Qatar Airways on July 3rd, 2022. I tried all listed ways of communication with Qatar Airways with NO RESPONSE whatsoever. I will never ever fly Qatar Airways again. Qatar Airways has proven to be the worst airline. Never get tempted to their prices; that will be at the expense of baggage handling.

    • Ann Mauritia MCP DCruz

      My luggage finally arrived on the 7th and it was badly damaged in different parts of the bag – like someone had hit it with something hard. Even the handle was broken off and left lying on the street in front of the house it was delivered. I tried filing a complaint on the link https://haqiba.qatarairways.com.qa/Haqiba/ but it says on contact the local Qatar office (in Barcelona). Why have this link when it does not work???? NO ONE IS ANSWERING THE PHONE!!!! I have sent an email a few days ago with photos of the damaged luggage and no one has responded!!!!. I am from the logistics industry and I can recognize when a package is damaged on purpose!!! And my bag was!!!

    Qatar Airline baggage handling service and their partner in Suvarnabumi Airport is terrible. We arrived 24 June on QR830 from London via Doha. We arrived on time, but our luggage did not make it. We filed the missing luggage with BFS and given their phone numbers to contact. However, no one ever aswers the phones. I sent them emails with no replys. It’s now 10 days since we arrived in Bangkok with way to contact either Qatar Airlines offices or BFS (Bangkok Flight Services) who handle their baggage. We’ve received no answers regarding compensation for the missing baggage. I don’t want compensation, l want our baggage, it has all our clothes.
    Flight no. QR830
    Flight Date – 23 June, 2022
    Ref. No. – 3HEFW9
    BAGGAGE NO. AC821662

    I certainly hope to receive some kind of reply.!!!!

    I have no idea when i will be contacted to at lease get some kind of answers as to where is the missing baggage and when we can expect to receive it.

  40. NASHMIA

    It’s almost been days since Qatar airways misplaced my baggage. I landed in Karachi from Toronto on the 29th of June – midnight.
    I wasted 5 hours (till 5am) at the airport to file a complaint. My parents and everyone who had come to pick me had no idea what was happening since I was stuck inside the airport trying to file a complaint.

    I have had zero contact from Qatar airways. They never emailed or messaged me to update me, when I check online it keeps saying “baggage under tracing” – how long does it take to trace a baggage whose route the airline very well knows ?
    What about the expenses I’m incurring because I literally have no day-to-day clothes or basic necessities here. I’ve had to buy everything from scratch to wear.

    • Bazgha Qutab

      I am on the same boat. I have no response for 6 days now, landed in Islamabad from london via Doha. any luck with your stuff?

  41. Dr. Padmini Rajendran

    I travelled from Johannesburg to Doha and then to DC on June 17th. On arrival at DC, I was told one of my bags was in Doha and that I would receive it the next day – It has been 12 days and no bag yet – what is worse is that you cannot reach anyone at their baggage dept – I have left numerous messages but have not received any call back yet – all my cardiac medicines are in the lost suitcase – their website is useless – after 12 days they still do not know where my bag is.
    Mr. Akbar Al Baker – you run a lousy airline sir – if you are not aware of these appalling standards regarding customer service, try calling your lost baggage dept and you will get an idea as to what your customers are dealing with. Reports say that your airline is one of the best – I do not know who did this review but nothing is further from the truth. Your airline is the absolute worst that I have had the misfortune of using and guaranteed, I will never use this crappy airline again.

  42. Kristine Fitch

    The service of Qatar Airways is very disappointing and actually somewhat maddening. My daughter’s baggage has been missing for 10 days. She is studying abroad for the summer and while she is very capable of shopping and getting clothes and supplies to get her through this has been a very stressful situation for a young lady in a foreign country by herself. So now I would like to file a claim for the lost bag and the necessary items she has had to buy. But a claim for reimbursement is nowhere to be found. I have tried chatting on WhatsApp but nobody responds. I have tried calling but that is just ticketing. I have tried going through the baggage at the airport in Kazakhstan but they are not getting any answers. Either find her bag or reimburse her so she can purchase the remainder of what she needs.

    • Fanny

      Hello

      I am in the same situation. Could you tell me if you found the missing baggage at the end ? (and if you did how long did it take ?)

      • Shelley Denman

        I have just read all the comments on this page and totally agree with everyone!! Qatar Airways Customer Service is NON EXISTENT!! My luggage was lost in Doha while transitting from Johannesburg to Dubai! I too landed with nothing but the clothes I was wearing amongst about 40 other passengers! We landed in Dubai at 9pm and only left the airport after 1am after completing PIR forms. This was on the 4th of July and I have received no feedback since, even after submitting a claim for expenses incurred in having to buy essentials and toiletries. They send you an automated Reference Number, but it means nothing if you cannot get feedback on that reference number! They are very quick to send you a survey of your in-flight experience, but they truly need to concentrate on their customer service as well!! No telephones are answered – just auotmated recordings of no use to anyone, whatsapp chats do not work, emails do not work – in short NO ONE IN QATAR AIRWAYS so called CUSTOMER CARE cares!! All we as passengers want is feedback on our missing baggage and claims!! This whole incident totally ruined my time with family in Dubai. I was nervous to travel back home with Qatar Airways in case my luggage was lost again and I do not think I will ever fly with them again or promote them to others. Customer Service is a hugely important part of any business and Qatar is severely lacking in it!! Very sad and disappointing!!

  43. A

    Worst airline ever seriously, from buying the ticket to their call center to baggage lost and found . I have lost 3 baggages for 10 days now and they have not called and they don’t answer any phone calls, i found a number online and when i call them finally someone answered and he told me they are not the place to call for lost baggage, I asked him can you transfer me or give me the number he said i dont know the number google it and he hangs up right away. I will not fly qatar airways and i will recommend all my friend and family not to fly with qatar airways.

  44. Mike bennett

    Appalling airline, appalling service
    SUMMARY
    I would strongly advise against using Qatar airways, and their baggage handling agents Menzies. This is based upon their appalling customer service on our current trip, June 2022. It is not so much that my bag is missing, these things happen, but their complete failure nearly a week later, to let me know if I will ever get it back. It is now five highly disrupted days since we landed and I still do not have any idea whether I should simply start now to replace everything I need to cover the full trip, or continue buying clothes and/or washing what I can day by day, which is clearly very disruptive.
    SITUATION
    I am writing this on Thursday 23rd June 2022 after we arrived in Sydney, from london via Doha on Saturday 17th June. We were proactively called from the baggage conveyor to be told that one of our bags had missed the connection, so they made a good start at handling a mishap. A pain, but these things happen. They told us the bag would be in Australia Sunday and with us Monday. However that was the end of their customer service, and the last we have heard of the missing bag.
    Neither Qatar nor Menzies their handling agent, will accept or respond to any request for information (phone, chat, email, WhatsApp etc.) never mind deliver the missing bag, it is impossible to speak to anyone. The only thing that they will give access to is a web site, which after 5 days still only shows “Bag Status:Bag 1: Baggage under tracing.”. So it seems that rather than being delayed as they initially said they do not actually know where it is, not a good sign.
    The lack of clothes etc. is exacerbated as we have no idea what is happening, or if/when we will ever see the again. They will not respond to any requests for furthering information, through any of the channels that they provide;
    1. Menzies Sydney airport phone number is not answered, but a voice mail offers to call back within 24 hours. No call back 4 days later
    2. Menzies voice mail is now fall, and gives an email address, promising a response within 24hours, but again there is no response to the emails submitted
    3. Qatar customer services call centre refuses to do anything for lost bagage. So their only role is to take your money and new bookings.. They simply refer me to the same unhelpful web site which says the bag is still being traced
    4. Qatar customer complaints have not responded to my formal customer complaint email
    So net result, I landed Saturday, and it is now Thursday. I have no clothes, contact lenses or toiletries and no idea if I will ever see them again. Both Qatar and Menzies make it impossible to communicate with them or get any useful information. Furthermore all media predictions are that it will only get worse next week, when Australian schools are on holiday.

      • Rob Nelson

        Rob Nelson here, Mike … my story is almost identical to yours except for the fact that ours began on June 28 in Perth … I filed a claim through Menzies at the airport before I left and have heard nothing since, even though I’ve tried various phone numbers etc … my worry is the indication that I need to submit a WRITTEN CLAIM within 7 days as well … when I look at the MY BAGGAGE section of the website it only seems to mention the initial report (PIR) generated via Menzies at the time of arrival and no link is apparent for any other type of written claim and since they say it must be done within 7 days, I must get this resolved ASAP … any clues ??? …
        this is the info I’m bouncing off: …

        “you should report upon arrival before leaving the arrival terminal at the dedicated baggage desk within the baggage claims area. A Property Irregularity Report (also known as PIR) will be issued. You will also need to submit a written claim through ‘My Baggage’ within seven days, once you have left the airport.”

  47. Paul Geddes

    Hi my bags went missing 6 days ago
    no update no information
    file reference given doesnt work
    spent hours on phone to Qatar customer service
    a complete joke
    no one has capability to simply look in their system to see where the bags were last scanned in or loaded.
    asked me to fill in another Qatar online report.
    you need to scan in all document (how can you do this if you are travelling!)
    also need to print off the questionnaire and again scan it in, its not editable.
    its a complete shambles.
    No phone number given in the file ref document provided.
    i tracked down Dalcross handling the company i reported to at the airport. and the phone number just rings out 6 days I’ve been calling it. got their head office in Inverness and they refused to help!!
    said only Aberdeen office can trace and they wont answer the phone!
    Im sure they are lying. the must also be able to track a bag from any location.
    Qatar wouldn’t even tell me how much i can spend.!!
    this is the worst customer service I have ever experienced from an airline.

      File number JEDQR22241 – Luggage lost – request compensation for driver’s charges; our purchase of clothes and other necessities; for our inconvenience, poor service, stress, emotional distress and making our trip unhappy.

      Dear Sir/Madam: Claim Number or File Number: JEDQR22241. Qatar Airways: QR1188 May 25th DOH to JED. We had the worst experience ever. This was the first time we took Qatar and it was recommend by our travel agent. It was a nightmare when we reached Jeddah and our luggage was lost in Doha somewhere. The directions were not properly given to us that who to reach out to where to go. SGS told us that Qatar airways should help they can only process the claim. We had nothing to wear. We spent all night figuring out at the airport. We had to buy clothes to wear th enext day because we had to visit Masjid e Nabwi. We reached Jeddah on May 25th night and drove to Madinna. Our driver waited over time for us. On June 26th we shopped for clothes and all necessities and did ziyarats at Madina. On June 26th we kept calling to Qatar airways and SGS – NO RESPONSE. We requested to ship luggage to our hotel and it was bluntly refused. On June 27th we called and followed up multiple times and finally someone said that luggage is at medina airport and you can pick it up after 3:00 PM. We went to pick up luggage paid 200 rayals to driver and we spent substantive amount to buy clothes and necessities. At the airport the person at SGS was rude and told us to wait if we have luggage delivered and rudely asked us to leave and not wait come back after 30 minutes. when we returned after 30 minutes he said our luggage is not there and left the window and walk away and asked us to talk to security. security was busy on the phone. another person came and asked us to wait until he gets the luggage. he finally found our luggage and we waster 4 hours waiting at madina airport. We left on June 27th for Mecca. This was all very stressful. we request you to compensate for our inconvenience, poor service, stress, emotional distress and making our trip unhappy. We were expecting a good experience but our first experience with QATAR is the worst. We had two peices of luggage. One for me and one for my husband. Looking forward to hearing at your earliest.

    on the 30 of March I had a flight with Qatar from Delhi to Doha and then to Montreal, one of my carry baggage is lost and the concerned team said it will be found soon it been almost a month no news and the number is also not working we did all from our side to reach the right person to take an update regarding our baggage but nothing yet if any higher-level considering this feedback kindly check and update me.

    • Haroon Shaikhmiri

      now it’s been almost 4 months my lost baggage is not found, here is the details;

      YUL2454370
      Flight number: QR0579
      Taq number: QR802953
      Ticket number: 1572383965131

      the whatsapp number is not answering
      we sent above 15 emails to the YUL and Qatar a single reply didn’t come back to just make us happy such a class of customer service, I do not know why is Qatar air line is the best air lines since can not find a missing bag or not giving update or at least not paying for the costs so customer would buy another cloths.

    Hi,
    Subject: Delay in arriving Luggage/s (one bag 1 day & another bag 2 days) – Booking Ref: TP8UGB

    My name is Farzaneh Sedighi Dehkordi, I travelled by Qatar Airways on 23rd March 2022 on flight from Tehran to UK (with Booking Reference TP8UGB). For mor information on my flight I provide a copy of my e-ticket at end of message).
    I landed in Aberdeen (UK) at 9:45am, 24th March 2022, but my luggage’s (2 suitcases) did not come with me. I immediately reported the missing luggage’s at Aberdeen airport, to DALCROSS HANDLING LTD counter to track and deliver luggage’s.
    There are two things that I am complaining:
    1. Dalcross Handling receptionist/administrator said that my bags will be not delivered to my home address, and I must collect them from airport tomorrow after I received a call from them. I am complaining about misinformation provided in this respect (by airline or counter or etc.).
    2. Also, the next day that I went to Aberdeen airport (25th March 2022) to collect my luggage/s, I found that only one of my suitcases has been transferred/ delivered. Dalcross Handling administrator said that my second suitcases will come at night or next day, and I must collect them from airport again, after I received a call from them.
    It was extremely annoying that the baggage’s were not delivered on arrival and then after to my home address. Therefore, I have got to go to airport two times and reschedule all my plans for two days in order to collect and have my bags. I had to collect one of my bags after 24 hours and the second bags after about 48 hours. I also had medicines and important personal items that I needed urgently and needed to provide them all over again.
    I would like the Qatar airline to provide appropriate compensation for the inconvenient situations that I did encounter. I am looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible.
    Regards,
    Farzaneh Sedighi Dehkordi

      I travelled from London to Doha, then Doha to Kuala Lumpur on 29/6/22, upon arrival, one bag missing. Filed a report immediately at the Qatar Office in the airport, was told that there will be another flight arriving tomorrow and my bag will be sent in the next day. In addition, I was told that I didn’t need to do anything and they will send the bag to my house. Today is already 7 July, more than one week of waiting and numerous attempts to contact the office via phone and WhatsApp but failed, what a terrible experience with a so called six awards winning airline. So irresponsible

  57. Nnamdi Maduka

    My name is Nnamdi Maduka and my son Master Kelechukwu Maduka, we both travelled by Qatar Airways QR0004 on Sunday 2nd January through Heathrow @07:10pm ticket numbers 1576020118707 and 1576020118708 respectively.
    We both landed at Lagos on Monday morning but was told that our four bags did not come with us. We left for Mbaise via Owerri with 12;00 flight .We were told that our bags will be delivered to us.
    We waited for our bags to no avail, our return flight was on Saturday the 8th of January, so without seeing the bags we left Mbaise on Thursday to Lagos only for the bags to be delivered to my people on Friday the 7th of January. Please zoom in the picture attached to see the level of damages done on the bags.

    The most annoying thing is that the last bag was wrapped completely at the airport but on delivery all the wraps were removed and forced open with many valuables removed from the bag such as football boot, perfumes etc.

    Could you kindly look into this case, this is so sad. thank you. I wanted to attached the level of damages to the bags but it wont let me.

    Regards,
    Nnamdi Maduka
