Richard Davidson's bike and luggage were sent to Naples, rather than Stanstead - leaving him to hire a bike and buy new clothes for his race
A Scots competitive cyclist has been left without his gear for a race after easyJet staff sent his luggage to Italy - while he flew to London.
The 55-year-old said airline staff had labelled his luggage with the details of another person after experiencing problems with their label printer at check-in. He is yet to be reunited with his belongings - including the bike he needs to take part in the race. "The operator said 'don't worry' and came back with two tickets, put them on my bags and then when I got to Stansted there was nothing. I asked if that was it and the handlers said yes, so they asked for my luggage receipts and it was only then that I actually looked at them, and it turned out they had printed off tickets for another passenger who was going to Naples.
Now back in his home in Dunfermline, Richard explained he has been left still chasing up the airline, who have told him that they have been in touch with Naples but that his case is with the secondary tracing team.
