"Swiss Plane Soars with 111 Passengers, Zero Suitcases"

A Swiss Airlines plane departed from Zurich to Bilbao without any of its passengers' checked bags due to a shortage of ground staff. Passengers waited for over two hours at the conveyor belt before being informed that their bags were left behind. The flight crew decided to fly without the bags for operational reasons, as the plane had to transport another set of passengers before the airport closed. The bags are being flown to Bilbao, but no specific arrival time was given. This is not the first incident of a plane departing without passengers' bags, as similar incidents have occurred in the past.
