All these months later, handling agents are still having serious staffing issues, which at this point well past the summer peak is frankly diabolical. DHL are apparently very short staffed, and according to an anonymous staff member have altered/cut overtime rates from this month which has further worsened this. Lots of easyJet flights with very long waits for baggage yesterday night/this morning with people sat and laid all across the reclaim area. I waited 3 hours... Coupling that with the train strikes made for a very miserable travel experience at the end of a good trip away.

Airport mostly fine a week ago for our departure, but even then we were delayed for ~30 mins on the ground after boarding due to slow offloading and late delivery of bags...
