  1. The baggage handling system at an airport is crucial in keeping travelers happy. This system starts at check in, when you check in your baggage the employee at the counter puts tag on each suitcase and this tag has 11 digit codes and the computer can read the information that is needed to transport bags to their correct destination. The bags are taken on conveyor belts to large gate. Then the security can check the bags by scanners. After that the bags are collected and loaded onto the plane. Then when you arrive the baggage is placed on the carousel in the reclaim area. Finally you can pick up your bags from the baggage reclaim area.

  2. Don’t worry madam, let me explain to you the procedure of your suitcase after checking it. First of all, it must be put in a large conveyor that is built for suitcases to move on it to be loaded onto the plane on time. But don’t worry, your bag won’t go around all places because the computer will catch the information on your baggage and which way it should go. Additionally the computer can read other information on your baggage tag that is needed to transport your suitcase to the correct destination. After that, your suitcase will move to the security check point where all baggage is being x-rayed that they can see if it contains of dangerous things that cannot be brought on board to make it a safe flight. Also, do not be afraid about your bag, because all the information and the code that is written on your baggage tag is sent to the computer so people who are working at the computer will know the location of all the suitcases and where they are going. Furthermore, the end of the conveyor belt will collect your suitcase and all of the suitcases of all other passengers on your flight. Then, your baggage will be loaded onto the plane. Finally, all the suitcases are transported to the baggage claim area where you can pick up your suitcase.

  3. May be you've probably wondered who your suitcase gets on the plane after you’ve check in. Let me explain to you the journey of a suitcase.
    After the suitcase is check in for dangerous goods it will proceed automatically.
    This automatic baggage system has many individual conveyors and control stations to move the baggage quickly and on time. Also the employee at the counter puts a tag will has 11 digital code and that code tells the computer who the bag belongs to and where they should go but all you can read is the flight number and 3 letters refer to the airport to which you are travelling.
    The tag is read many times to make sure it goes in the right direction and it is route to it proper gate. If you miss a flight your baggage go to another conveyor.
    When you arrive to your destination your luggage will be on the reclaim area and you will pick it up.
    It is very important for all airline to make passengers happy by providing better service and baggage’s handling system at airport is crucial in keeping traveler happy.

  6. The baggage handling system starts from the moment you check- in your suitcase. When you check in the employee at the counter puts a tag on it which contains 11 digital numbers. After check-in your baggage moves on conveyor belt. All you can read from this tag is only three letters which are the IATA airport codes to where you are traveling to. The baggage is checked by a computer system and scanner to make sure it is routed to its proper destination. Before loading the bag into the aircraft the baggage handler will double check destination code on the baggage tag.
    At the end of the flight and when the passenger arrives at the destination airport the bag is transferred to the reclaim area where the passenger can pick up his luggage.
