cargo holds
Freighter storage compartments
Cargo holds are the compartments of a ship or aircraft where freight is stored during transport.
The term typically appears in discussions of shipping logistics, smuggling, or travel conditions: Stowaways were discovered hiding in the cargo hold.
On passenger aircraft, luggage goes in the cargo hold beneath the cabin.
