HEATHROW airport has descended into chaos with suitcases abandoned across terminals while fuming passengers have been forced to miss flight connections.
Ticked-off travellers are telling of pandemonium at the London airport where apologetic staff are saying “the whole industry is a mess”.
The travel industry has been plunged into turmoil in recent weeks due to staff shortages, staff strikes and a soaring demand for holidays.
Passengers have been devastated by last-minute flight cancellations, huge queues and lost baggage as airports struggle to cope.
Shocking snaps show the disarray passengers are attempting to navigate, with thousands of suitcases deserted at both arrivals and departures.
Piles of luggage are seen cordoned off in no particular order – making travellers fear they may not see their belongings again for weeks.
Meanwhile tens of vexed travellers were forced to miss connection flights over a bus blunder.
Passengers have claimed they were left waiting for over an hour for shuttle buses to take them from Terminal three to Terminal five.
The long wait meant Brits looking forwards to long awaited trips after the pandemic were left grounded through no fault of their own.
Hacked-off holidaymakers took to social media this morning to tell of the havoc being caused by staff shortages.
