IAPA Bag-Guard®
(Not available in USA, Canada, Colombia and certain other countries)*
FREE baggage insurance and tags
IAPA provides members outside North America with a unique lost and delayed baggage compensation policy which provides cash benefits of up to US$900 (£500 / 750€) for delayed and lost checked-in baggage. These benefits are paid IN ADDITION to any other policy you may hold and regardless of the contents of your baggage!
These days, that is a valuable safety net for any frequent traveler. You only have to lose your bags once to realise what an inconvenience (and how expensive) it can be!
All your checked-in airline luggage is covered to the following levels:
| Delayed Baggage for a total of 12 hours: | US$90 / £50 / 75€ |
| Delayed Baggage for a total of 24 hours: | US$270 / £150 / 225€ |
| Delayed Baggage for a total of 72 hours: | US$540 / £300 / 450€ |
| Total Loss of baggage (additional benefit): | US$360 / £200 / 300€ |
| Total Compensation: | US$900 / £500 / 750€ |
But we do more than just pay compensation. All of our members receive special baggage tags and access to IAPA’s unique bag tracing service.
Once you protect your bags with IAPA's unique Bag-Guard® tags, then, should your
checked-in luggage become lost you simply notify the
airline and then one call to your IAPA Membership Office will initiate a search via the airline's transportation system.
We will then help track down your luggage and arrange to have it returned to you.
Guard against lost luggage:
* For IAPA members in USA and Canada, IAPA membership includes separate baggage delay compensation through our Travel Guard program.
