How much time will take to recover my lost item?

    Here’s how long it usually takes to recover a lost item via TUI Airways and what you should expect: ⏱ Typical Recovery Timeline 1. Within the first 24 hours File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) at the airport before you leave the terminal using your boarding pass, baggage tag, and reservation details. This is essential. 2. Within about 1–3 days Most delayed or misplaced items are located within 24–72 hours. In fact, around 80% of TUI lost items are found in that timeframe. By Day 6, if there's still no confirmed delivery date, you should escalate the case by contacting TUI’s Baggage Services Department at 03335770300. Provide your PIR number and all relevant details. 4. Up to 21 days Under international rules (Montreal Convention), TUI has up to 21 days from the date of baggage delivery to find and return your lost item. 5. After 21 days Once the item is declared lost, you are entitled to compensation under the Montreal Convention—up to roughly €1,600 (≈£1,600 / €1,920) depending on latest liability limits. You must file a claim within the next 21 days (from receipt of the last item or from date of item declaration).
