baggage reclaim area

Suitcase pickup zone

The area in an airport where passengers collect their checked luggage after a flight.

Bags typically arrive on rotating conveyor belts called carousels.

Also called baggage claim or luggage reclaim: We waited at the baggage reclaim area for twenty minutes before the first suitcase appeared.
