You can get a maximum of EUR 60 (in reais) for each day that your baggage was delayed, with a maximum of 21 days. Please keep the receipt of the items you bought and send us a copy, along with your CPF and bank account reference in Brazil.

Unfortunately, sometimes your baggage gets damaged during transport. Regular handling of your bag may leave scratches, marks, minor dents, and other signs of use. We are not liable for these smaller damages. Is your baggage damaged more severely? Please report this to the baggage desk at the airport as soon as possible. A report will be generated to facilitate your compensation claim. You will also receive information about the repair shop, if applicable.

Did you discover the damage after leaving the airport? Please report this within 7 days after your arrival. You can do so by using the link below, where you can both report the damage and request compensation.
