KOPITE 96 Posted August 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Just wondered if anybody knows if the situation here has improved any for arrivals ? I've heard that passengers are waiting 2 hours for luggage!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 2BACRUISER Posted August 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I think it pretty much depends on when your flight lands, if its one of the first in its fairly quick and straight forward, but later in the morning after 11.30 thro 1.30 Tui land 6 flights almost simultaneously and the airport just cant cope, thats when the jam happens. Flights that take of before 8am UK time are usually ok. hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOPITE 96 Posted August 6, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks 2BACRUISER, our flight is 630am from UK so we should be ok hopefully! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted August 6, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Hmmm, our flight should have been 7.20 but has been altered to 8.25😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormy Posted August 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The main problem, in our opinion, was not the wait for luggage, that was bad enough, but the long walk with luggage to the coaches - a very long way with pavements, kerbs etc to negotiate in high temperatures - never again unless its ' Bonded Luggage ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it isnt going to change anytime soon at Naples unless Tui bribe the local council lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormy Posted August 6, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2019 But at least Palma is a flat walkway, you cannot possibly compare it with the shambles at Naples Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOQ Posted August 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2019 My flight out to Naples was at 8:40, the aircraft circled for about 40 minutes for a landing slot and I had to wait 30 minutes for my luggage. Maybe I was lucky. The walk to the coaches wasn't too bad, the only worry was that the TUI reps were gathered in groups about 10 feet apart then no-one for a large distance which gave me a brief worry that I might be lost. Not as bad as I feared really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormy Posted August 6, 2019 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We are in our seventies, and we found the walk, with luggage, a complete nightmare. We will certainly not be using Naples in future, unless drastic improvements are made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOQ Posted August 6, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I found the flight home was worse for me, they dropped us at the airport 4 hours before the flight, chaos, not enough seating, trying to find a loo which was actually open and I got stopped for a bag search (this was the third time in 3 years). Why they pick on me I don't know, I am pushing 70 myself, must look a bit dodgy, must have a shave and wear a suit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLine Posted August 6, 2019 #12 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We landed at 1pm, no buses available so stuck on plane then slow delivery of luggage and finally after ‘the walk’ we were on the bus at 2.30pm. Going home and the 30 minute transfer time ended up at just over an hour. Airport was hot and no seats at all in the departure area we were in, things were running late and the heat was getting to people. The only good thing is bonded luggage going home worked well but will not be flying to Naples again bonded or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensioncruiser Posted August 6, 2019 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Looking like we will be revisiting our booking on D2 next year unless things improve in the next ten month's, really fancied the itenary 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormy Posted August 6, 2019 #14 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If you fancy the Adriatic have a look at departing Dubrovnik, it's ' Bonded Luggage ' both arrival and departing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted August 6, 2019 #15 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If Marella don't pull their finger out and get the problems resolved there could be some cheap cruises from Naples next year! Can't imagine many people booking when they hear about all the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that ormy we do love the Adriatic, probably more than the Caribbean, so have flow into Dubrovnik many times and experienced the bonded luggage which is good for us oldies one of the reasons we booked Naples which was supposed to be bonded both ways.

ormy Posted August 6, 2019 #17 Share Posted August 6, 2019 We really would not use Naples Airport again - unless TUI make very significant changes, they must be aware of the problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
