How to Get Thousands of Dollars When an Airline Temporarily Loses Your Luggage

The full policy states that you must provide proof for reimbursement “less any applicable depreciation for prior usage,” so keep your receipts. The policy does not apply to wheelchairs and personal assistive devices or to “fragile, perishable, or precious items” that weren’t identified to Delta at check-in. You must provide notice to a Delta office within 24 hours, and you also need to let Delta know what needs to be reimbursed within 21 days. United Airlines has the same policy, and a similar policy exists for American Airlines, with a cap number not explicitly specified.

Kullberg also mentioned in a different TikTok that Delta did something “suspicious.” Less than an hour after she posted the video, some of her viewers reported that the link to the policy was no longer available. Although the policy still exists, finding it on their website became more difficult.
