The service will help guests track and expedite the return of delayed baggage and provide real-time updates via email and SMS. The service ensures a compensation of ₹19,000 and ₹66,000 (per piece) for domestic and international flights, respectively, if the baggage is not delivered within 96 hours of the flight landing at the destination. The service can be booked for ₹95 on domestic and ₹330 on international flights, respectively.
