Does luggage actually get loaded onto planes?

......or does it go the whole journey on a conveyor belt?

It spends the entire journey on a conveyor belt. And what is this about bins that they put luggage in when I last went on a plane I was expected to carry my own luggage up to the plane at which point I was placed in hold and my luggage enjoyed luxury in cattle class! I think I got the best deal actually I didn't epend the entire journey with a small child kicking me in the back!

my friend had a problem with an air line damaging his bags he went to see a solicitor, but the solicitor said he did not have a strong enough case. ha ha

Actually it's part of a global conspiracy. They zap it there using Star Trek "beam me up" technology and pretend it was on the plane. They don't want us getting hold of that technology for ourselves because they wouldn't be able to control immigration but they can control the suitcases..........


bubu
No, it travels by bus.


MM
No, actually it goes by pigeon post. These days, air lines hire very large, genetically manipulated pigeons - twice the size of an ostrich. These pigeons, due to super-steroids, are capable of flying as fast as an airplane, with your suit case on their back (they need their feet for llanding).

Maybe one day, when you are in a plane, you should look out of your window. See for yourself!


aflumpire
Yeah the world is connected on one HUGE converer belt. They build it under the land?water so you cant see where you bag is going if if your bag does one screw up, your bag is 100000000000 ks away!

no. it doesnt get loaded onto planes, it gets THROWN onto planes


gypsy
when you get off your flight ( in the country you travel to) do you find your luggage? Well then I think your luggage came with you. Of course it goes into the plane, how else would it arrive with you at your destination

It gets loaded into container bins then rolled into the baggage hold on a conveyor belt. The bins are then fixed in place. The baggage weight is calculated so that the plane can be balanced and take off and land safely.

If you look out the window at the gate, you will see that the luggage is usually on a conveyor belt...that leads to the cargo hold of the plane!

Yes and yes.

Yes it does actually, an it certainly seems that sometimes theres no way it travelled with you for the time you wait to collect it, it may as well gone overland.

Have you heard of Baggage Handlers? The clue is in the job title.


ladysorrow
I understood your question as I have worked for airline companies. Yes, it goes in conveyors and not loose on the plane.
