If your baggage is delayed, damaged or lost following a flight you must advise a member of Bahrain Air staff, or our representative, at the airport of arrival immediately. They will complete a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) with the details and provide you with a Property Irregularity Report Number, which should be quoted in all subsequent enquiries or correspondence.
