What Happens to Your Checked Luggage at the Airport?

If you’re like most Americans, you’ve been on an airplane and checked a bag to be separated from your person and given back to you once you reach your final destination… most of the time.

It’s no secret that quite often, checked bags tend to get lost somewhere along the way and situations like this can definitely be frustrating, but the complex system in place to transport your bags might explain why lost baggage is so common.

This time, we go inside of the whole process as it appears as if somebody has fastened a camera to their luggage to capture the entire process of checking a bag on video from start to finish.

We follow along with this bag as it zips down conveyor belts, gets moved by hand, and even gets pushed around by a robotic arm. Maybe now, it’s a little bit easier to understand when your flight of choice misplaces your bag!
