My problems occured on my diverted inbound flight to Stanstead. Stanstead airport staff were unable to assist our plane for 1 hour 30 mins, meaning we missed our flight to Gatwick and instead sat on the plane and waited a further 40 mins to be collected by coach and taken to the airport. Then staff changed their minds about baggage, yes you can collect from Stanstead, next they said it was being taken back to Gatwick without us and we would recieve it through the post! Then a last minute decision was made and we were able to collect our suitcases after another hours wait.

Delay with baggage on XL flight from Paphos. Waited an hour and forty minutes for ours, and even then it was coming through in dribs and drabs. No other flights seemed to be affected. This was on top of another delay caused by late arrival of the aircraft in Paphos. In all 3½ hour delay. Just what you need on top of a 4½ hour flight.

Of all the airports which I have been to recently Gatwick Security is easily the worst for delays and some of the security people seem to revel in their "moment of power" - having to use Gatwick is a horrid experience.

We arrived late at the airport as we checked in online. Spent just 5 mins dropping bags and collecting boarding passes and then AGES trying to get through security. Gatwick is so unorganized. Coming back into LGW was even worse. It was a joke. I think there was meant to be about 5 queues but it was more like a night club with people treading on each other and pushing to the front.

We waited in the security queue, weaving round and round for over an hour to then just as we were getting to the end be whooshed through 'express' bit when we'd already been told an hour earlier that we weren't allowed to go through it becuase its a service you pay extra for, when enquiring how much it was and how we booked it - they answered they didn't know!!! I had 2 small children with me, wouldn't it have made more sense to have let us through there in the first place than make us wait an hour ??? Or seeing as that person wasn't actually doing anything for that hour, open up that desk for all travellers and then the queue wouldn't have been so bad.

Flight due to leave for Zakynthos at 9.15, actually left at about 10.30 because of baggage belt break down. Pilot informed us on plane that not all the baggage had been loaded but if we missed our slot we could be delayed several hours. So we were flown to Zakynthos t find about 70% of the hold baggage had been left behind. XL did not appear to start to do anything about this until 9.00 on Monday so our bags turned up on Tuesday, Wednesday and the last two on Thursday. On Sunday we came home. XL and Cosmar both seemed to be more worried about the cost to them than the inconvinience to us and tried to get other carriers to get the luggage to Zakynthos and even from the airport to our hotel.
