What is a carousel at the airport?

• A. Conveyor belt for boarding passes
• B. Baggage claim area inside terminal
• C. Moving strip from which passengers collect checked baggage at the airport
• D. Security checkpoint line

Answer: (C)

A baggage carousel is the rotating belt in the baggage claim area that presents checked luggage to passengers after a flight. Bags are unloaded from the aircraft, placed onto the carousel, and as the belt turns, travelers grab their bags when they spot them. It’s specifically the moving strip used to collect checked baggage, not the area where security screening occurs or a belt tied to boarding passes.
