Explained in plain English

Can I claim for bag drop delays?

Unfortunately, no. While airlines are responsible for flight delays and cancellations, this new bag drop rule is a preventative measure. Compensation rules, like those under UK261, typically apply to delays caused by the airline's operational issues or technical faults, not passenger processing changes.
