Edinburgh Airport passenger has to buy clean clothes for kids as luggage is lost

An Edinburgh passenger has told how she had to buy clean clothes and toiletries for her and her two children after arriving to the capital to be told their suitcases were 'unavailable.'

Monika Armet, a primary school teacher from Orkney, was visiting her family in Gdansk, Poland for a summer holiday. When flying back into the capital with her two young children, she was shocked to be told that their luggage was missing and given directions to the temporary baggage hold run by Swissport.

Without the luggage and stuck near the city airport till the next day, the 35-year-old and her kids were then forced to stay at a nearby Premier Inn and had to go to Asda to buy clean clothes and toiletries as they had nothing left in their hand luggage.
