Common questions
Manchester baggage help.
Who should I contact about delayed baggage at Manchester Airport?
Contact the operating airline or the baggage handler shown on your airport report. The airport’s general lost-property service normally handles items left in the terminal, not checked baggage that failed to arrive.
Can the airport pay my baggage expenses or compensation?
A baggage reimbursement claim is normally made to the operating airline. Keep the PIR, bag tag, boarding pass and itemised receipts and follow the airline’s official claim route.
What if my item was left in the terminal?
Use the official Manchester Airport lost-property link on this page. This is different from an airline checked-baggage report.
