|---|---|---|
| 1,288 SDR Liability Cap | Montreal Convention Article 22(2) (~$1,750 USD) | Applies per passenger (not per bag) on all international itineraries |
| Illegal Daily Caps | Airlines Falsely Claim '$50/day' Replacement Limit | US DOT Enforcement Notice explicitly prohibits arbitrary daily expense caps |

2. Step-by-Step Execution Protocol
When airlines delay your luggage on an international trip, customer service portals routinely lie by claiming they only reimburse '$50 per day' for essentials. Under Article 19 and 22 of the Montreal Convention and US DOT enforcement orders, airlines are strictly prohibited from setting arbitrary daily caps below the 1,288 Special Drawing Rights (~$1,750 USD) statutory limit.
