What to do if checked baggage is delayed or lost after a flight from Cairo

If your suitcase does not arrive on the carousel, file a PIR at the airport and list the bag’s contents. Keep your copy, as it is required for baggage tracing and any compensation claim.

A 21-day period is cited for baggage tracing, but the actual recovery can take longer. In one reported case, a suitcase was located almost two months later after repeated follow-ups with the airline.

Do not rely on the initial report alone: follow up with the airline regularly using your PIR reference. You may still seek compensation after the bag is delivered if the delay caused expenses; one traveler reported receiving partial reimbursement.
