Air Busan's official baggage compensation policy states that damage to checked baggage or missing contents should be reported in writing within seven days of receiving the bag. If the checked bag is delayed or lost, a written report must be filed within 21 days after it was entrusted to the airline. Check your baggage at the airport carousel and notify staff promptly if anything is wrong, as coverage depends on the airline's responsibility. Ordinary scuffs or wear, overpacked baggage and improperly protected sports equipment may be excluded from compensation. Keep baggage tags, photographs and relevant receipts.
