On Thursday (22 July), Lisbon Airport had between 2,500 and 3,000 bags which had not yet reached their final destination, despite efforts in recent weeks to deal with the chaos and delays that resulted in more than 8,000 pieces of luggage being left unattended and undelivered to passengers

According to this Friday's edition of Expresso, the delay in dispatching bags is four days, but there are airports where the situation is more problematic with a greater number of "lost" luggage and with delivery to passengers taking up to 14 days.

At Lisbon airport, the situation has reached the point where baggage handlers Groundforce have been forced to hire three couriers that will deliver bags to hotels and passengers' homes three times a day.

My luggage has been lost since 13th of July at Lisbon airport. Grounforce is not replying to inquiries and I still have not received my luggage. The same happened to my mother in law, the luggage was mishandled in July and she also has not received hers.
