How much time will take to recover my lost item?

    If you've lost an item on an Air Mauritius flight, the recovery timeline and process typically works as follows: 🧳 Step 1: File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) Immediately upon arrival, you should file a PIR at the airport’s Air Mauritius or handling agent desk—this generates a claim number and begins the tracking process. If you missed doing this at arrival, you must submit the report within 7 days—typically online or via email. Step 2: Tracking & Delivery Timeline Once the PIR is filed, airlines usually track your item and attempt to locate it. Most delayed bags arrive within 2–4 days, if they’re simply delayed. In customer reviews relating to Air Mauritius, some passengers reported baggage taking as long as 5 to 17 days before arrival. Step 3: When Is It Considered Lost? If your item is not located within 21 days, it's legally regarded as lost under the Montreal Convention. Once deemed lost, you can initiate a compensation claim, submitting an inventory of contents and receipts.
