Amex travel insurance should kick in for baggage delayed more than 6 hours. I'd call them, asap.
Thanks. I've called them and gone through to Chubb who said a 6 hour delay can receive up to a $200 payment for replacement clothes and toiletries. I assume that means the one outfit. It gets a bit more vague after that but I think they pay another $200 up to 48 hours. Then if it's lost for good I've got to claim with receipts or other evidence.
I think it will turn up but it will be too late for my purposes, that is, the walk, so I'm not sure how a claim goes then. I will be replacing everything now at my cost but could end up with two of everything.

I often wonder how the guy in front of me at lost luggage in ZQN got on after they lost his luggage with his (very expensive Sage) fly gear, which meant his short weekend trip was completely ruined.

As a silver lining, I'd imagine he'd be glad to re-purchase the gear assuming it was possible to do so on insurance, then have his lost gear turn up.

Hope you can salvage something out of it.
