Have you ever wonder what happens to your check bags after the counter agent puts them on that belt?
After the bags leave the ticket counter area, they go trough a screening process where they are checked and inspected, then they arrive via another belt to a pier where some people take them and arrange them in accordance to their destination and flight number. When the time for departure is almost an hour away, there's a guy that takes the bags to the plane where three other guys load them into the aircraft (this is an ideal situation because in a busy day might be different) so we can have our bags when we arrive to our destination. A busy flight may be somewhere in between 100 to 140 bags, and the funny part about this count is that with the price of checking only four bags, a company pays the whole day to one of these people.
Do you feel that the price you pay to check your bags reflect the real cost of it?
