And do remember to claim from Saudi as well
after receiving your luggage. Yes, they do provide some compensation for mishandling of luggages. I got back like USD157 for my single piece of checked luggage.
The process can be a bit tedious after submitting the discharge form, and it took me a total of 2 months to receive the money since kickstarting the process in mid October 2023. In between, they will email you for various docs like passport, bank copy and details etc. I recalled there was no sound no picture for 5 weeks after sending them all these, and finally I got the compensation in mid December 2023.
And I also got an AirTag for my sanity haha.
All the best!
Thanks for the hopeful encouragement. I wish I had remembered to put my airtag! I will surely permanently put in my luggage going forward.

Just wondering, did you also check what the Saudia baggage tracker status read back in 2023 after retrieving the luggage? Did they update anything after 16:43 missing baggage report?
My current status shows the similar sequence as yours above.
But I checked also my earlier (and complete
) flights 2 months ago: it shows "loaded into container" at both origin and Jeddah airports. So if there's no "Jeddah", then it's likely still in Jeddah.
Now we're 24 hours further and 3 subsequent JED-CGK widebodies arrived, and still nada. Just like all travellers with bags, I have no other choice but to come to terms that it's only a bad luck and I can only wait for now.
