Depending on your travel insurance policy your baggage benefit compensates you for the delay, loss, or damage of your baggage during your trip. The maximum amount payable is indicated on your insurance certificate and covers the entire duration of your trip and each applicable person. You may also be compensated for expenses incurred, if your checked baggage is delayed for over 12 hours while en route or prior to the return of your trip.
