Dozens of bags were pictured stacked across the floor of Heathrow's Terminal 5 at the weekend, while passengers complained luggage had not arrived at their destination.

Cancelled

At least 60 British Airways flights were cancelled on Friday, affecting up to 10,000 passengers, as torrential rain and thunder led air traffic control to impose restrictions over Europe.
