Baggage claim is the area in an airport where passengers go to pick up their luggage after a flight. Once you land, you follow signs to the baggage claim area, where you can find the carousel that holds your bags. Each flight has a designated carousel, and you can usually find your luggage by looking for the flight number displayed above the conveyor belt. At baggage claim, travelers often wait for their bags to arrive, watching as the luggage circles around. It's important to keep an eye on your belongings and make sure you grab the right suitcase, as many bags can look similar. Once you have your luggage, you can head out to meet friends or family waiting for you.
