Mum who had to wear 10-year-old daughter's clothes finally gets luggage back

A mum has been reunited with her suitcase five months after it was lost by an airline forcing her to wear her 10-year-old daughter's clothes on holiday - but says the experience brought them closer. Mother-of-one Sian Armour, 42, went on holiday with husband Mark, 42, and daughter Courtney in July during baggage chaos at Edinburgh Airport.

The couple worked two jobs and saved up for three years to pay for the £3,400 getaway to Dalaman, Turkey, with Jet2.com Holidays, for a fortnight. But her luggage, containing around £2,000 of items including an Apple Watch and perfume as well as new clothes bought for the trip, was lost and ended up in Germany.

Sian is still waiting for a cheque for £1035.06 to turn up, and said she spent a lot of the holiday traipsing round markets looking for clothes, and on hold to Jet2.com and baggage handlers Swissport. Sian, a scientist who runs a fitness company with her husband, snapped a selfie wearing Courtney's leopard print skirt and some sandals which were two sizes two small.
