IMG is working hard behind the scenes to reflect the change in ownership and ensure a smooth transition. Our technical teams are implementing these changes to ensure a seamless customer experience and expect the website to be available again within approximately 2 hours.
Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.

You’ve arrived at your destination and you’re waiting and waiting by the carousel…….but nothing! Your checked-in baggage hasn't turned up and you're coming to the realisation that maybe it's been lost permanently by the carrier.

Loss to any of the following is NOT covered if left in checked-in baggage/held by the carrier for transport:
This is only a summary of cover and does not include the full terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions of the policy. You should read your Policy Document in full, so you understand what is and isn’t covered. If you are unsure about your level of travel cover, please contact us for help.
