Lost and Found Baggage Section
One nightmare for travelers is losing their baggage at the airport. When you have watched all the passengers claim their baggage at the carousel and yours is nowhere to be found, what should you do next?
There is a Lost and Found Baggage Desk at Hamad International Airport. If you seem to have lost your belongings, you can proceed to this section and report your situation.
When you go to the desk, you should provide as much information about your baggage as possible so the staff can help you better. You can specify the color and model of your luggage. Or you can also mention where you last saw it. Most importantly, you should provide your contact information so the airport staff can contact you as soon as they recover your item.
But what would happen if you received your baggage, and it was damaged? You can also file a formal complaint with the airline. If you also did not recover your baggage, you can also file a complaint. In case you never recover your property, the airport will give you compensation for your loss.
What Should You Do If Your Baggage Is Lost At The Baggage Claim?
If you are one of the passengers at Qatar Airways and you seem to have lost your baggage, you can go to baggage belt no. 1 to report it. You can also report your incident online at fpco@qatarairways.com.qa.
