Baggage Claim Mess
My question is regarding airline missing bags claim. We were 6 passengers that flew from Pakistan to Syracuse on one itinerary purchased together. We checked in total of 17 bags. From Pakistan to JFK the airline was Qatar. We had connecting flight from JFK to SYR through JetBlue. At JFK all the bags were collected, passed through US customs and handed over to Representatives for connecting flight. Upon arrival at Syracuse, 6 bag were missing which are now declared lost. Would my claim fall under International compensation rules or US domestic compensation rules as both are constituted by different payout limits? Also would i be compensated per claim, per bag, per kg or per passenger any insight and guidance will be highly appreciated.
