In airport terminals, a baggage claim area is an area where arriving passengers claim checked-in baggage after disembarking from an airline flight. The alternative term baggage reclaim is used to mean the same thing at many airports outside the USA (e.g. Brussels Airport, Heathrow Airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Schiphol Airport and so on).
A typical baggage claim area contains baggage carousels or conveyor systems that deliver checked baggage to the passenger. The baggage claim area generally contains the airline's customer service counter for claiming oversized baggage or to report missing baggage.
Some airports required that passengers display their baggage check receipt so that it can be positively matched against the bag they are trying to remove from baggage claim. This serves two purposes: first it reduces baggage theft, and secondly it helps to prevent passengers from accidentally leaving the airport with another passenger's bag that bears resemblance to their own.
Got some money
In my pocket
Got my ticket
In my hand
Ain't got time
To talk
Ain't got time
To explain
Ain't gonna ride
A Greyhound
Or a midnight train
I'm goin'
By jet propulsion
To the promise land
Gonna run down
Through the terminal
Jump over the chain
And make love
To my baby
In baggage claim
She called me up
This mornin'
Said she needed
To see me bad
She was Jonesin'
Real hard
For the love
She knew I had
Said
She woke up
