HOLIDAYMAKERS from West Sussex were forced to take-off from Gatwick Airport without their luggage after a power cut early Saturday morning (March 10).

But the airport claim owners will receive their bags today ‘at the very latest’ (Monday March 12).

The North terminal baggage handling system was affected by the cut at around 3.30am, causing some flights to leave without passenger’s bags.

Around 2,500 suitcases were left behind.
