A study has shown the worst airports in the UK for lost luggage, with Manchester Airport coming third after London Heathrow and London Gatwick
Manchester Airport is the third worst airport for lost luggage in the UK, research has shown. The airport dealt with 16.13 per cent of mishandled baggage cases reported to the Civil Aviation Authority between 2018 and 2022, the highest volume after London Heathrow Airport and London Gatwick.
The figures are from research conducted by luggage storage firm Bounce, who analysed lost luggage on flights to and from the UK between 2018 and 2022 by submitting Freedom of Information requests to the Civil Aviation Authority. The CAA only handles cases of lost luggage which cannot be resolved by the airlines themselves.
The 5 worst airports for lost luggage in the UK are: A spokesperson for Manchester Airport said: “Manchester Airport is the third busiest in the UK behind Heathrow and Gatwick - and every year we look after the bags of almost 30million passengers. We work closely with airlines and their appointed baggage handlers to make sure issues are kept to a minimum and, as this data shows, it is extremely rare that luggage is ever lost.
Dealing with lost luggage - top tips Cody, CEO and founder of Bounce, has shared his top tips for dealing with lost luggage:As soon as you realise your luggage is missing, find your airline’s representative and file a claim with them before you leave the airport. If you can’t find a representative, source their contact information and give them a call. You will be asked to file a lost baggage report and provide a description of the colour, make and model of your luggage.
