		</div><p>Thousands of passengers departing from Heathrow Airport are having to fly without checked luggage due to a baggage system failure. The airport advised travellers departing from Terminals 3 and 5 that they may have to fly without their bags and should pack essential items in their hand luggage.</p>
<p>It comes less than three weeks after chaotic scenes at the airport when British Airways grounded all flights following an IT power cut. A number of passengers went on social media to express their anger at the latest disruption. Zoe Morrison wrote on Twitter: &#8220;@britishairways let us down again @HeathrowAirport- no baggage being loaded this morning and no information for passengers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another frustrated passenger, Ryan Wooldridge, said: &#8220;Baggage failure at @HeathrowAirport this morning. &#8220;Bags won&#8217;t be making it onto flights, absolute shambles.&#8221; Rachel Jackson tweeted: &#8220;Just found out that despite checking in 3 hours early bag not on flight disgusted what are you doing about it @HeathrowAirport?&#8221;</p>
<p>Heathrow issued a statement at 6.45am on Thursday which said: &#8220;Heathrow is currently experiencing an issue with its baggage systems which is affecting airlines operating from Terminal 3 and Terminal 5. Other terminals are unaffected.</p>
<p>&#8220;This may mean passengers will travel without their bags, and we advise them to pack essential items in their hand luggage. &#8220;We are currently investigating the issue. &#8220;We are sorry for the disruption and are working hard to get the system running as soon as possible.&#8221;</p>
<p>A BA spokesman said: &#8220;We&#8217;re currently unable to accept bags and strongly encourage customers to pack essentials in their hand baggage. &#8220;Heathrow Airport is working hard to fix the faults.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re sorry for the disruption that customers are facing and more information is available on BA.com.&#8221;</p>
