What is the difference between a Single and Annual Smart Luggage Policy?
- Single Trip Travel Insurance: the policyholder and each covered person can claim for one item of checked luggage on each leg of a trip

How much can I claim?
How do I register?
Your flight details need to be registered at least 24hours before you travel. Don’t worry if you forget, you will receive another reminder 7 days before you travel.
How long does the luggage need to be missing to be deemed lost?
For the claim to be processed you must ensure that you have reported your luggage missing within 48hours of arrival at your destination airport. See policy wording for more details.
How do I make a claim?
- Inform the Customer Services desk or Luggage Services desk at that destination airport that your checked luggage has not arrived on the carousel.
- If they are unable to locate your checked luggage, the Customer Services desk or Luggage Services desk will provide you with a SITA proof of loss receipt for your checked luggage containing a Personal Identification Reference Number (PIR).
Once you have retrieved the above information, you need to then login to the Smart Luggage Portal and report your luggage lost by clicking on Report Luggage.
- Enter the PIR number (this should be ten-digit reference containing five numbers and five letters).
- Enter your surname and date
- Select your Smart Luggage policy number
- Select your flight
- Take a photograph of the proof of loss receipt containing the PIR number and upload it.
- Click “report lost”.
On receipt of this information, Smart Luggage will begin to search for your missing checked luggage. If the luggage is not located 30 minutes after this, you will receive £50 into your bank or PayPal account, and if we cannot locate it after 48 hours, you will receive a further £500. You will be notified of the progress of your claim via SMS and have the option to accept payments from within the Smart Luggage portal.
*Terms and Conditions apply. Flights must be registered at least 24 hours before the date of travel. All claims must be made within 48 hours of acquiring knowledge of the delay or loss. Check your policy wording for more information.
