You are allowed a reasonable amount of tights and other clothing + cosmetic items. Keep a receipt, photo them and the receipt, send it in afterwards. You should deduct the debit card off the total. BA have a good reputation in this area. If you buy from Marks and Spencer or Gap you are unlikely to be challenged, but if you bill them for some laundry or service washes then it makes it even more difficult to challenge.

You can also claim for electrical items, such as a battery charger.

Reports on here suggest payment is arranged a few days after receipt of the documentation.

If the items are lost - which is now extremely rare - then there is a separate process for claiming for that, covered by the Convention mentioned above. It's unlikely to come to that.
