Luggage at Malpensa International Airport


All hand luggage and check in luggage must carry a tag with the passenger’s name and contact details; the airport suggests that essentials such as essential medicines and baby clothes be carried as hand luggage as well as valuable items.

Oversized Luggage

Once checked in, oversized luggage has to be taken to an area dedicated to handling larger than usual luggage.

 

Damaged Luggage

If upon your arrival at Milan Malpensa airport you discover that your luggage has been damaged in transit, passengers need to report to the lost and found office before leaving customs, there you will be informed of the steps required to obtain compensation/ reimbursement from the airline.

 

Lost & Found

Lost or found items must be reported to the Lost and Found office (any suspicious items found should be reported to security personnel instead immediately). Upon reporting a lost item, passengers are issued with a PIN number which is printed at the bottom of the claim form; passengers can check the status of their claim on line by introducing this PIN code http://www.milanomalpensa1.eu/en/useful-information/baggage/en-lost-and-found .
