Many of the credit card offers that appear on this site are from credit card companies from which we receive financial compensation. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear). However, the credit card information that we publish has been written and evaluated by experts who know these products inside out. We only recommend products we either use ourselves or endorse. This site does not include all credit card companies or all available credit card offers that are on the market. See our advertising policy here where we list advertisers that we work with, and how we make money. You can also review our credit card rating methodology.
We may be compensated when you click on product links, such as credit cards, from one or more of our advertising partners. Terms apply to the offers below.

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-
