10 second
BAA are to build at least one more baggage belt
in the int arrivals hall but having worked at stn
in the past one is not enough if you ask me another
four wouldnt be enough at peak times
some people may not agree but baggage belts or
lack of them at stansted is the main reason for delayed
baggage every night every baggage belt built for one
flight at a time has at least 3 or 4 flights/pax waiting
in the hall for each and every belt to become available
having been in the undercroft and seen the baggage truck
sometimes 8 or more waiting for a belt to come free
the point is most of the time even peak times the bags
are down in the undercroft with-in 20min it just takes
another 30-40-50min for room on a baggage belt
to become free
I can tell you all if your waiting for bags I bet they are
in the undercroft waiting to come up and if you look round
upstairs at the baggage belts they will be full with at least 3
other flights bags going round
