baggage
Suitcases and burdens
Baggage is the suitcases, bags, and containers a traveler carries.
The word emphasizes the burden of transport more than the contents: We had too much baggage for one taxi.
Figuratively, baggage means accumulated emotional burdens or past experiences that complicate present situations: He comes with a lot of baggage from his previous marriage.
A baggage claim is the airport area where checked luggage arrives.
