* As current weather changes can be unpredictable, these table serves as a rough guide and cannot be held responsible
If you found that your luggage is damaged when you received your checked luggage from the baggage claim area, present the damaged luggage and the claim checks to the airline baggage office.
Point out the damage to the officer on duty, and make sure you have your claim checks available. Most airlines have up to 48 hours limit for declaring damages.
(Please take note that for some budget flight, no claims will be entitled if you did not purchase travel insurance for your flight)
The airlines are selective about what type of damage is covered by its liability policy. What everyday people consider 'damage' is considered 'normal wear and tear' by the airlines. Items that are considered 'normal wear and tear' for many airlines includes wheels, straps, handles, zippers, pockets, name tags, and most things that protrude from your luggage as well as minor tears, cuts, or soiled. This may vary between airlines.
If your damage claim is accepted, you may be offered one or more settlement possibilities, to include things such as bag replacement, repair, or in cash.
In general airlines regard the purpose of luggage to be the protection of its contents during transit. If the luggage is damaged, even severely, but the contents remain unharmed then airlines regard the luggage as having fulfilled its purpose and will not compensate owners.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created in the wake of 9/11 to strengthen the security of the nation’s transportation systems while ensuring the freedom of movement for people and commerce. Within a year, TSA assumed responsibility for security at the nation’s airports and deployed a Federal workforce to meet Congressional deadlines for screening all commercial airline passengers and baggage. In March 2003, TSA transferred from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security.
TSA employs a risk-based strategy to secure U.S. transportation systems, working closely with stakeholders in aviation, rail, transit, highway, and pipeline sectors, as well as the partners in the law enforcement and intelligence community. The agency will continuously set the standard for excellence in transportation security through its people, processes, technologies and use of intelligence to drive operations.
TSA screens every passenger's baggage before it is placed on an airplane. There are times when TSA need to physically inspect a piece of luggage. TSA has worked with Travel Sentry to develop locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks may not have to be cut. These locks are available in our outlets as well as provided in some of our luggage. The Travel Sentry logo on the locks indicates whether they can be opened by TSA.
