Show the damage before leaving the airport
Check the suitcase and contents at baggage reclaim. Show airline staff the damage before going outside. Keep the baggage tag and take photographs of the damaged parts, along with your flight and contact details.
Keep the report and submit the required written notice
Ask for a copy of the Property Irregularity Report (PIR), if issued, and its reference number. Follow the responsible airline’s separate written-notice deadline and required evidence. A report at the desk does not remove the need to meet those conditions.
Separate airline handling from an insurance claim
Keep damage photographs, the report, the airline’s reply and receipts. Repair, replacement and reimbursement depend on the carrier’s applicable conditions; insurance depends on your policy. Check the country-specific guidance rather than assuming identical cover.
Search the airlines listed for travel between the United States and Thailand by name, airline code or flight number.
No matching result in these records. Check the operating airline on your ticket or use the shared English directory.
United Airlines
The Los Angeles–Bangkok itinerary listed here uses UA820 via Hong Kong, while the San Francisco departure connects from UA877 to UA820 in Hong Kong. Choose the check-in instructions for your US departure airport and confirm your travel date.
Keep the baggage tag, boarding pass, flight details, photos where relevant and the report reference. Obtain a copy of the report if the airline issues one.
Does the airport report replace a written claim?
Not necessarily. Check the responsible airline’s written-notice requirements, deadline and starting date separately.
Thai phrases to show airport staff
Choose the male or female form to match the speaker, then show the Thai sentence you need to the staff member or copy it to send.
Ask where to report baggage damage
After finding damage to your arriving bag, ask baggage staff where to report it and request a PIR.
