"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. This may mean passengers will travel without their bags and we advise them to pack essential items in their hand luggage. We are currently investigating the issue. We are sorry for the disruption and are working hard to get the system running as soon as possible."
