If your luggage is missing, you must follow these steps:
Let us know, before leaving the baggage claim area, if your luggage did not arrive at your destination, using the online Lost & Found form. Fill it out within 24 hours after landing to avoid queues at the airport. This service is only available for flights operated by TAP Portugal and TAP Express.
You can also do so at the Lost & Found counters in the baggage claim area.
The company will immediately begin searching for the baggage, using a universal system - Worldtracer. For more information about the process, you can contact the phone number indicated when issuing the report. Alternatively, you can browse the TAP / Worldtracer website.
As soon as we receive your luggage, it will be sent to the address indicated when opening the report or you will be informed of the procedure for collecting it.
The success rate is 95% and most luggage is delivered within the first 48 hours after registering the incident.
If you request a refund within the first 24 hours after purchasing the ticket, exceptionally, all fares will be refundable and any penalties that may be provided for in the purchased fare will not be applied. Additionally, if the order is placed online, the service fee will not be applied. If you choose to request a refund through the Contact Center or at a TAP sales desk, the refund will be subject to a service fee in the amount of EUR 40/USD 50/CAD 60, charged per ticket.
The refund will be made using the same payment method used when purchasing the ticket.
These conditions do not apply to cases where a passenger fails to show up for a flight with a departure time within the first 24 hours after purchasing the ticket.
