September 15th - Checking in bags for a flight? Don't head for the airport without hearing from Steve Kelso from Gatwick
Manage episode 506341635 series 3603099
Steve is Head of Engineering at the UK's second-busiest airport, and responsible for the baggage systems. Almost all the time things work well for the passenger, the airport and the airline.
But sometimes bags with loose straps and the like can gum up the system. And if you leave old barcodes on your case (those little labels) your bag might end up in Bangkok while you are waiting in Barcelona.
