Getting your baggage off the belt.
At a small airport recently a 767 load and a U shaped belt with a crowd at least 3 deep all the way round. I chose to hang back out of the crowd but then my bag appeared. I was at the top of the U so I had maybe 10 seconds to get to the edge of the belt. I said "excuse me" and nobody moved so I repeated it and moved forward and, yes, I pushed my way through. I did get to the bag but I pissed at least one person off in doing so because as I wheeled the bag back out he put his foot out to stop me.
I suppose I could have simply waited until the crowd thinned. Or I could have positioned myself further round the belt so I had more time to work my way through the crowd. I wasn't in a rush - no onward connections.
What's your strategy?
Given the length of the belt and the size of the load is there anything you've seen at other airports to help the situation?
