Today it has been 11 days since I came to Cuba with Sunwing. I flew flight 628 from Toronto to Varadero on December 23rd. Luggage ticket #xxxx, Claimed ticket in Cuba xxxx. My bag is Black and Blue with two wheels. Why after 11 days is there no answer about the missed luggage? Is it time to claim for compensation? Please let me know through this e-mail or call in SPANISH to +53 xxxxxx1. Thank you.

Hello Juan. Please understand that we are not SunWing Airlines. We are Upgraded Points, a blog specializing in credit card rewards and travel resources. I have deleted your personal information from your comment for privacy purposes. If you can make a luggage claim at the airport, that is best. Or you can submit your request here. The sooner, the better. https://www.sunwingcares.ca/hc/en-us/articles/360000950414-My-baggage-was-delayed-How-do-I-make-a-claim-
