Sorry, I should have said this is their Limited Liability - Some airlines will pay out in full of course....

They pay out in SDR (Special Drawing Rights) Under the Warsaw Convention, if I remember correctly, you are only entitled to 17SDR's per Kilo of checked luggage, don't know how much in GBP a SDR is today though (Usually not a lot) Earlier this year 1 SDR = £1.00 or $1.50 - Checking for most full service airlines (BA, BMI, UNITED, VIRGING ETC) usually allow around 20Kg in economy so a full suitcase should bring you around 340 SDR's which equates to around £340 The kicker here is they have a fair amount of time to find and they usually do, so you end up with exactly what you should have had (Your Suitcase) but far too late for it to be of any value!

To cut a long story short, I checked a bag in on December 23rd. for my flight to Galway, and I haven't seen it since. Obviously it caused me quite a bit of inconvenience while I was over there, and although I've got home now it still hasn't been returned to me. I'm now thoroughly frustrated and annoyed by the whole situation, so I want to screw the airline for every penny of compensation that I'm legally entitled to. If any of you have any expertese in this area, can you please get in touch.
