As far as compensation goes, the airline is liable to a max of XDR1288 ( approximately $1670 ) for delay/loss of baggage. Keep receipts for anything that you need to purchase and can claim. If you have travel insurance, it will likely be much quicker and easier to claim off of insurance unless your claim will exceed the insurance limits
Some travel insurance might be secondary to whatever the airline pays; such insurance would likely not pay out unless and until the insured had first filed a claim with the airline and had that claim resolved.
