baggage carousels

Airport suitcase loops

Baggage carousels are the rotating conveyor systems at airports where passengers retrieve their luggage after a flight.

The circular or oval belt delivers bags from the aircraft to the arrivals area, where travelers wait and watch for their suitcases to appear: We stood at the baggage carousel for twenty minutes before her bag finally came around.
