baggage drop

Suitcase check-in point

A baggage drop is the airport counter or automated station where passengers hand off checked luggage before a flight.

Airlines increasingly use self-service baggage drops with scales and label printers: I printed my tag at home and went straight to the baggage drop.

The term also applies to the area containing these stations.
