baggage reclaim

Suitcase pickup area

Baggage reclaim is the area in an airport where passengers collect their checked luggage after a flight.

Suitcases and bags arrive on a conveyor belt carousel from the aircraft's cargo hold.

Also called baggage claim, especially in American English: We waited at baggage reclaim for twenty minutes before our bags appeared.
