Some passengers who have flown out of Toronto Pearson during the frantic holiday season say they've waited days for their bags to show up at their destinations, with little communication on the status of their luggage.
Images from Pearson airport show hundreds of lone bags piled up at the airport after major winter storms caused days of flight delays cancellations, leaving many holiday travellers stranded.
"It's a shorter trip now than originally planned, and I'm not even sure if my luggage is going to get here before I'm on my way back to Ontario," said Long, who is visiting his mother in Amherst, N.S., and flies back in two days. GTAA spokesperson Rachel Bertone said airport employees are helping airline staff to clear stranded baggage.
"While conditions have improved in Toronto, the weather systems in connected cities impacts delays and departures of airlines at Pearson," Bertone said.
