KLM Delayed Baggage Information

Here is the statement made on the KLM website regarding damaged baggage:

'As soon as you find that your baggage is missing when you arrive, please report this to us straight away. In the customs hall at each airport, you will find a baggage service desk where you will receive a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and a file reference number. At Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, please go to the desk next to baggage claim area 14 in arrivals hall 2.

If you did not report your missing luggage when you arrived at the airport, you will have 21 days to do so at the airport where you arrived. Once this period has expired, we will no longer be able to process your report.'
