In airport terminals, a baggage reclaim area is an area where arriving passengers claim checked-in baggage after disembarking from an airline flight.[1] The alternative term baggage claim is used at airports in the US and some other airports internationally.[1] Similar systems are also used at train stations served by companies that offer checked bags, such as Amtrak in the United States.
