What should I do immediately if my Delta baggage is delayed?
If your baggage doesn’t show up at the carousel, the first step is to report it before leaving the airport. Go directly to the Delta baggage service desk and file a Property Irregularity Report (PIR). You can also call +1-833-770-4333 for help starting your claim. Delta agents will track your luggage using its tag number and update you via email or text.

Make sure you keep your boarding pass, baggage tag, and receipts for any purchases made while waiting for your bag. Delta typically reimburses reasonable expenses for essential items like toiletries, clothes, or medication. If your bag is delayed for more than 24 hours, contact +1-833-770-4333 again to update your claim and ensure it’s processed quickly.
