Two Northern Ireland women, who have flown to Egypt for a holiday, have said the plane arrived without any luggage for all the passengers.<\/p>\n

Robyn Allison said the EasyJet flight was delayed leaving Belfast International Airport on Wednesday afternoon and passengers were told it was \u201cdue to baggage issues\u201d, but she thought it had been resolved.<\/p>\n

The Lisburn woman said, after arriving in Hurghada later that night, passengers were waiting for an hour and a half before being told all the bags were \u201clost\u201d.<\/p>\n

BBC News NI understands that there was a technical issue with the aircraft hold and that arrangements are being made to get the luggage onto Hurghada as a priority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The BBC has contacted EasyJet, Belfast International Airport and Swissport for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Really disheartening’<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mom rang Swissport last night and they said the bags were in Liverpool, but [other passengers] have been told they\u2019re still in Belfast,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said EasyJet has not been in contact with her and she does not know if she\u2019ll receive her bags.<\/p>\n
