Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

Luggage is eventually (it can take 18 months) paid per kilo lost at just 22 US$ per kilo.

So have a look at your luggage receipt and it will say how many kilograms of luggage you checked. Multiply that by 22 and that is how much you will recieve, less admin charges and taxes (approx 28%) of the sum.

My 18kg bag went missing with Qatar Airways and I recieved a cheque for just US$ 138. The cheque was arabic, took 6 weeks to clear and the bank took 25 US$ commision.

Your best bet, is to write a letter to Qatar Airways head office in your home country and demand the full sum back. Threaten legal action. Make sure your letter is official and typed.
