Delayed, lost or damaged baggage

Delayed baggage

If your baggage is missing on arrival of your flight, you'll need to report it to the baggage services desk at your arrival airport straight away. They'll assist you with making a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) which will have a unique reference number (PIR number). The more information you can provide about your bag and its contents will help us to find your bag more efficiently.

Once your baggage has been found, and where local laws allow, you'll be contacted by our local handling agent to arrange delivery, subject to customs clearance. If we are unable to deliver your baggage to you, you'll be asked to collect it from our local handling agent at your arrival airport.

If 3 days after your flight your baggage hasn't been found, please complete the Baggage inventory form (BIF) and send it to baggageservices@flydubai.com along with:

• a scanned copy of the Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with the reference number (PIR number);
• the booking reference for the flydubai flight you were travelling on when your bag went missing;
• your contact number.

flydubai baggage team will take over the search for your baggage and contact you when they find it.

At this stage, we recommend you register a claim with your travel insurance. We can issue an insurance letter to support it. To get the letter please send an email to baggageservices@flydubai.com or send us a message via Contact us form, selecting ‘Baggage mishandled’ subject in the drop-down.

Missing items in baggage

If you discovered that some of the items in your bag are missing after you received your baggage, please report it immediately to the local handling agent or contact baggageservices@flydubai.com.
