AI Highlights
  • - Trying to return a bag that was incorrectly collected yesterday.
  • - The service is unhelpful and the number shows 'incorrect number'.
Updated by user Apr 06, 2026

Once I talked to Staff, the Tui staff were exceptionally helpful. The baggage despatcher was very helpful.

If theycould give a phone number that was staffed by a human and not a bloody robot, the whole thing would have been good. Talk to people.

Original review Mar 22, 2026

I'm trying to find out where to return a bag that was incorrectly collected yesterday, and as with all corporates now, your service is useless. Your customer services number comes up with 'incorrect number', which I guess just about sums you people up.

User's recommendation: Never have an issue. You are pushed into the cold

To make a complaint

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I can't reach Gatwick Airport customer service via listed numbers.
  • - There was no reply within the promised timeframe regarding a serious complaint.

I have spent several hours trying to locate a working telephone number to contact Gatwick Airport's customer service or complaints department. Unfortunately, the numbers listed are consistently unreachable, and there appears to be no way to speak directly with a representative.

My intent was to follow up on a serious complaint that has been ongoing for quite some time. Despite assurances that I would receive a response within a specific timeframe, no such reply has been given. I am extremely disappointed by the way Gatwick Airport has handled this matter.

Their lack of communication and accountability reflects poorly on their commitment to customer care. As someone who is severely disabled and living with multiple chronic medical conditions, this experience has further exacerbated my health and wellbeing.

User's recommendation: Be mindful of there poor customer care

Lost luggage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Luggage lost for 5 days with no apology.
  • - Emails and chats were not reviewed, and I was told to contact Gatwick airport, with no resolution.
Updated by user Jun 09, 2025

Utter nonsense. I will ensure someone pays

Updated by user May 26, 2025

Not helpful at all. Full stop

Original review May 25, 2025

Qatar Airways at Gatwick lost my luggage for 5 days and not apologised or given me any explanation how this happened. I have sent emails, had online chat with full detailed transcripts.

No one has looked into it. Whats the point of filling complaints if youre not going to do anything about it. Today I was told to get in touch with Gatwick airport, almost as if it had nothing to do with Qatar Airways.

This has sent me over the edge with high blood pressure. I will not keep quiet about this

User's recommendation: Utter nonsense customer service. Toltsl rubbish

Lost baggage!!! BRITISH AIRWAYS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Las Vegas to Gatwick BA2276 passenger reports luggage lost for three weeks.
  • - They say BA offers little help and cannot locate the bag.

Business class passenger from Las Vegas flew to Gatwick on 9th April BA2276. Who do I speak to about my lost luggage in Gatwick Airport?

I am getting absolutely nothing from British Airways. Very angry and frustrated. I need to know where my luggage is! It's been three weeks now.

Absolutely awful service from BA! Will never ever travel with them again and will report, report, report accordingly. Frequent flyer. I fly every month, and it's my first time flying with BA in my ten years of continuous travelling, and they lost my luggage as a business class passenger and simply do not get in touch and seem to be doing nothing about it.

Still unsure how baggage in this day and age still gets lost. What is wrong with these businesses? Failing.

I have to call up every single day to speak to a different Tom, *** and Harry who simply beat around the bush, keep me on hold, and then tell me they don't know where my bag is. Literally losing sleep over here over my luggage!!!

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: zero! do not fly BA

Duty free

AI Highlights
  • - Bought a bottle at Gatwick with bag, receipt, and tag intact.
  • - In Turkey I was told I couldn't bring it back and had to dispose or drink it.

Bought a bottle of drink as a gift from Gatwick, went to Turkey, bag still sealed, receipt still in bag, tag still on bottle, everything still the same as when bought. Turkey then decided to tell me I could not bring it back through and was told either dispose of it or drink it.

I could not drink it, so I opened, drank a little, and poured it away.

I then went to duty-free, and the gentleman that was serving me said if the bag was sealed, I should have been able to carry it back through. I have video receipts of what I bought at Gatwick and what I had to then buy in Turkey.

Loss:
$67
Pros:
  • Give information correctly

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Ask for details

Lost item

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Missing checked bag P466**** from Lagos to London on P47578 (31 March 2025); no explanation; it may have been swapped and they'd contact if returned.

Dear @flyairpeace I flew from Lagos to London on your flight P47578 (date 31 March 2025) only to discover on arrival that one of my checked in bags ( number : P466****) is missing

I have not been offered any explanation as to why this has happened

I have only been told that they hoped that it was a swap and if it happened to get returned , I would be contacted. This is quite disappointing and at the same time I really feel let down flying Airpeace Gatwick-Lagos for the first time and I am being told this.

May I know the next steps to recovering my lost luggage which contains items that of importance to me and my loved ones

Thank you
