Passengers from the West who arrived back from Sharm el-Sheikh at the weekend face a lengthy wait to get their luggage back

A flight landed at Bristol airport on Saturday evening, bringing back holidaymakers who were due to fly home several days earlier.

Holidaymakers were only allowed to bring back hand luggage because of restrictions, and it's not known when they will get their other belongings.

Thousands of Britons remain stranded at the Egyptian resort, despite several flights to the UK over the weekend. The latest intelligence suggests a Russian plane which crashed last week after leaving Sharm was brought down by a bomb.
