Airline baggage claim

[jkwaltke]

To clarify, did your interpretation originate from a Wikipedia article perchance?

Correct.

Lost baggage

The Montreal Convention changes and generally increases the maximum liability of airlines for lost baggage to a fixed amount 1,131 SDR per passenger (the amount in the Warsaw Convention is based on weight of the baggage). It requires airlines to fully compensate travellers the cost of replacement items purchased until the baggage is delivered, to a maximum of 1,131 SDR. At 21 days any delayed baggage is considered lost, even if the airline delivers it after that period.

Aw, geez. This is all about what was said on Wikipedia?

jkwaltke, Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information. Anyone can contribute to an article on Wikipedia (even if they are idiots). Those who edit content for Wikipedia do not always catch and correct the errors that appear.

I suggest you read the Montreal Convention, accessed through the links I provided.

Thank you, single317dad, for locating the source of jkwaltke's confusion.
