Baggage and Animals
Delayed or damaged baggage
Did your baggage not arrive or is it damaged? Here, you can find all the information.
General Information
Make sure to label all of your baggage items (including hand baggage) with your name, home address and holiday address.
Put important documents, valuables and medication in your hand baggage.
According to the standards of the Montreal Convention we will reimburse up to SDR 1,288.00 (approx. € 1,500.00, depending on the current exchange rate) in the event of destruction or loss of or damage to baggage.
- Checked baggage is covered by strict liability, provided the baggage was not already damaged prior to check-in. We are only liable for non-checked baggage if we are at fault.
- If the value of your baggage exceeds the amount stated above, it is possible that you present a completed special declaration at check-in to increase the limit of liability and pay a surcharge or make sure that your baggage is fully insured before you travel.
- Our liability for checked baggage begins when we accept the baggage and ends when we return the baggage to the traveler.
- However, airlines are not liable for hand baggage, valuables such as jewelry, banknotes, business papers, samples, passports, medication, or fragile or perishable items. These items should therefore remain in the care of the passengers.
- We recommend taking out an additional traveller’s baggage insurance policy.
Delayed Baggage
Baggage Tracing
Your baggage didn't arrive? We make every effort to trace and find a missing baggage item as quickly as possible and return it to you. Please report your missing baggage already at the airport. You can track your lost baggage claim status online at Worldtracer:
You can also report your missing baggage at home via this link.
If your baggage has not been returned to you within 5 days, we will initiate an extended search. Therefore, we need a detailed list of the contents in the baggage.
Reimbursement for Delayed Baggage
You have the option to purchase urgently needed items within the limit of the legal maximum liability until your baggage arrives. You are obliged to keep the cost of the purchases as low as possible.
Items purchased at the place of your permanent residence will not be refunded.
After your baggage has been delivered, we will verify the replacement purchases. Please fill out this form within 21 days.
Damaged Baggage
If your baggage is damaged, please immediately contact the “lost and found” department at the airport upon arrival. A Property Irregularity Report (PIR) will be created there.
Condor offers a baggage repair service. The damaged baggage will be examined and repaired. If a repair is not possible, you will be contacted regarding a possible replacement.
You will be provided with the required forms and information directly at the airport when you report the damage. With these forms, you can make arrangements with our customer service to have your baggage item picked up free of charge or have your case processed directly on-site (in Frankfurt).
If you discover the damage only on your return home, or where luggage is delivered late, the online notification must be made without delay, together with evidence of the flight, and received at our customer service within 7 days of your arrival.
To report damaged baggage, please complete the damaged baggage form.
The decisive date in all cases is the date on which the information was submitted to our Customer Service Department. The issuance of a PIR does not constitute adherence to the deadlines specified above. Our partners will make every effort to support and assist you with this matter.
