Any ideas?
It's entirely acceptable to report baggage damage shortly after arriving, you are not obliged to do it at the airport. Just call them, use the webform on the website or any other mean of communication. Even letter would surely be fine given the date of posting but why go for that slowest of modes when you can just go on the website and fill in all the details they need?
