Passengers have reported facing huge delays for baggage after the cold snap rocked Manchester Airport. Swissport, which handles baggage at the airport, admits travellers have been disrupted as a knock-on effect of the chaos brought by the recent freezing weather.

But the family were still left waiting for the luggage throughout the afternoon before Ellen's husband travelled to pick Yuanhua and Luming up, with Ellen describing the situation as 'simply ridiculous'.
The passengers were finally reunited with their bags shortly before 5pm yesterday. They were not the only travellers to report long delays due to baggage issues. One passenger, who asked to remain anonymous, described 'chaos' at the airport on Sunday night after landing from a delayed Ryanair flight back from Treviso, in Italy. "When we arrived at Manchester Airport we saw a lot of luggage stranded by a carousel," he said.
