File a claim at the airline counter immediately, use your carry-on essentials, and purchase replacement items in مكة if needed — always pack الإحرام and الأدويةs in carry-on.
Lost luggage is a common travel issue, especially during the busy الحج season when airports handle millions of الحجاج. If your checked luggage does not arrive, immediately go to the airline's baggage services counter at the airport before leaving. File a formal claim with your baggage tag receipts and get a reference number. Most airlines deliver recovered luggage to your hotel within 24-72 hours.
To prepare for this possibility, always pack essential items in your carry-on bag: الإحرام garments, prescription الأدويةs for several days, copies of all documents, phone charger, basic toiletries (unscented if you plan to enter الإحرام soon), and a change of clothes. If luggage is significantly delayed, basic clothing, toiletries, and الإحرام garments can be purchased at shops near المسجد الحرام in مكة at reasonable prices. Keep all receipts for potential reimbursement claims with the airline.
