Efficiency of Baggage Claim Units
The efficiency of baggage claim units can be measured in a number of ways including the amount of time a unit is in use for a given flight or the amount of baggage a unit can hold. A number of factors can independently affect the efficiency of a particular unit:
- Aircraft seating capacity
- Proportion of passengers with checked luggage
- Proportion of passengers who are terminating at a given destination
- Average number of luggage pieces per passenger
- Average traveling party size
- Average number of people at baggage claim
- Average rate at which luggage are unloaded from the flight (this also depends on the physical properties of checked luggage)

Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
