The airline is what we were told at the airport on the day and now the airline are saying it is not them. Who do you complain to for the delay of the luggage coming out so late onto the carousel for all the luggage on that flight?2

There is nobody to complain to, and nothing about waiting for luggage makes it a valid complaint. We have flown between the same two locations, with the same airline, numerous times. The best we have experienced is the baggage on the carousel by the time we have got through to the baggage claim area. The worst, as I mentioned earlier, is about a 2 hour wait. At the airport we normally travel to/from there are signs in baggage claim showing the average time for bags to arrive, not a guarantee that bags will arrive within x minutes. You really are flogging a dead horse on this one.0 -

I have complained to the airline but they are fobbing us off and sending us around in circles.
Any suggestions on this?
Compensation, or just to lodge a complaint?Life in the slow lane1 -
And if customs decided to rescan all luggage on arrival (aka turkey ciggy hunt) then you will have no complaint to the airline, airport, but to customs. And the answer to that complaint will likely be 'we were just doing our job'.0

Without knowing the cause of the delay it's nigh impossible to comment.If all passenger's luggage was delayed it may have been a technical issue accessing the aircraft hold ?0
