From check-in to aircraft: your bag's journey through Heathrow

[TheSchoolOfFool]

just like toy story!

[davebournemouth]

pure fantasy,in reality of course the baggae system breaks down every few minutes,and your bag is delivered in the baggage area a few hours after the the plane has left when they opened T5, on the first day,the baggage system broke down in just a few minutes, resulting that week, in the biggest mountain of lost baggage the world had ever seen,

[MultiMonster69]

thats logistics

[LAVIVALAPOLSKA]

AWWW MAN I WISH THAT WOULD BE HOW WE GET TO OUR AIRPLAIN AND DA BAGS GO THROUGH ALL DAT BULLSH!T IN CHECKING IN AND STUFF! DATS A LONG RIDE ^-^

[MrKiwi200]

A childhood ambition of mine to go on that thing:)

[MEGIDIOT]

I like the song.

[Delmarvellous]

Just like in Toy Story 2!!

[xxxxxhahahahaxxxx]

a roller coaster

[TKO1996]

thats an AWESOME ROLLER COASTER

[vitacit]

i've been always wondering what everything my old bag has experienced after check-in))))

[Easyjet96]

Yeass 17 thumbs up thanks guys :)

[shayminaaaa]

woah that willl be fun to ride

[UKRicey]

This video is hardly assuring for those who are not confident flyers.

The video gives the impression that the bags are just sent through one massive conveyer belt.

Not much on the x-rays or scanning of the bags here.

:-/

[a2304]

awsome video!!

[Balarick]

@a2304 it was very fast. be nice if we could ride that conveyor system.

[Sasquatched23]

no wonder heathrow losses so many bags

[MrDogsguy]

Gave me a headache watching this, cool video though I never knew there was conveyor belts underneath the airport

[MuseofCydonia09]

@MrRylan2000 Yes the bag does get scanned, that's what the bar code is for on your bag.

[Lunarlaserranging]

what about bikes and oversized equipment. im talking about those really massive bike cases.

[werner290]

I don't understant how 0:50 works...

I know that tha't's where the bags come out at the gate, but i don't understand the roller table... How do the bags get on it?

Where are the baggage carts parked?

[SaberTanker22]

LOL i think the bag got on the wrong plane all well there always blanket sleep on the street . =)

[Doublecheesburger1]

the camera broke xD

[jaggadaku2k]

doesn't it go through any x-rays machines to c if there's any bombs in the bag?

[ThorpeParkxxSammiiee]

i think that is what the black bit was, but i dunno

[bramberkien]

Yes it is. Just before the X-ray are several mechanisms to make sure the bags are properly aligned. If the bag fails the 1st X-ray test then it goes through a couple more stages of testing and if after that security still can't make out what's in the bag, the passenger has to come in to explain.

[jamesbaa]

It goes through the x-ray machine at 0.20 seconds

[werner290]

@jaggadaku2k, at 0:19, that's the x-ray machine i think

[Easyjet96]

sooo ur bags board a airbus A320 and fly off on a 747?? it dosent make sense!! LOL

[GeneralRdot09]

loool well spotted

[elevatorman191]

actually, that 747 was a different plane, they did that to get things done faster while filming this

[sxssio]

@Easyjet96 That's why so many get lost ! XD

[tibettintin]

@Easyjet96 Magic :)

[RainbowManification]

@Easyjet96 the A320 turns into a 747. DUH!!!

[silvair25]

@Easyjet96 No... The A320 is where your bags ended up. You're on the 747.

[Easyjet96]

@silvair25 yeep i wish far better plane :P

[Stormchick666]

@Easyjet96 That would explain why we don't see them on the other end LOL



[xenoclix]

and this is why you gotta be 3 hours before departure...by the looks of things it takes about that long to get to the end! lol :P

[GREALDO21]

they skipped the bits why the guys lob your bags and break your things. lol =]

[suada16]

i know what you did you put a tiny spy camra in your bag to hide it adn see how the check in looks like yeah

[robbo9632]

Thats the baggage system in T5, thats why its so clean!, you should see what happens to your bags in T1,2,3 & 4!, they get fucked up!!!. Trust me, I see this everyday....

[degaik]

awesome

[nintendokid96]

now that's cool

[HayesBypass]

Cool. I'd always wondered what went on. Bloody clean!

[roborovskihamsters]

First :-)
