baggage claim
Post-flight destination
Baggage claim is the area in an airport where passengers retrieve their checked luggage after a flight.
Suitcases and bags typically arrive on a rotating conveyor belt called a carousel: We'll meet you at baggage claim.
The term can also refer to the process itself: Baggage claim took forever.
