I recently flew to Europe and had a connection in Amsterdam. The first plane was late and I had to literally run to the next gate to make my connection. I did make it, but was sure that they did not have enough time to transfer my luggage. To my great surprise, my luggage arrived at the final destination together with me! How did they do it, is there a highly efficient luggage transfer system in airports? Is it possible that my checked-in luggage traveled by a different route?

Your luggage will be on the same plane as you, unless you actually miss the plane. If you made it, your luggage should have made it as well. It doesn't ALWAYS work that way, as people who have lost their baggage will tell you. But that's the way it's supposed to work.

Luggage travels with passenger, this is a Golden Rule. So, if there's a bomb, the bomber dies too.

It just depends on the flight.. usually for domestic flights ( within the country) luggage is loaded onto the same aircraft, but on international flights many times the luggage is loaded onto another... hope this helps!

Your luggage ALWAYS travels in the same aircraft as you. This is ALWAYS and there are NO EXCEPTIONS unless your luggage is lost in the system and ends up going to Nairobi when you are on a flight to Singapore.

It was on tarmac being pulled by a little truck at faster speed & no people in way than you were. It is amazing though. I like to sit in plane & watch for my luggage to be loaded. Same plane unless you lugguage is lost.

Yes your checked in baggage travels with you on the same plane. When they load the luggage if someone is transferring to another flight ,they put the luggage closer to the unloading door so they know which baggege to remove.

Answer by lil a
yes the luggage travel with the passenger.and there is a highly advanced system by which the containers filled with luggage is been shifted to the other planes by cranes and that is how even before you change your connecting flight your luggage does.
