  "summary": "Around 5,000 pieces of luggage have been stranded at Bangkok’s main international airport, Suvarnabhumi Airport, following severe flooding that disrupted flights and baggage operations. Thai Airways, the airline affected by the disruption, is working to clear the backlog within 72 hours, with CEO Chai Eamsiri stating that the carrier expects to complete the task within three days. The flooding has affected transport and airport operations in the Thai capital, leaving thousands of bags separated from passengers. Passengers are advised to check their flight status and baggage information directly with their airline and report any delayed baggage to the airline’s baggage service desk before leaving the airport.",
