Description:

Have you ever wondered what happens to your checked bag once you've handed it over to the airline? Us too! We took a field trip to Dulles Airport to visit our friends at United Airlines and find out. Today on AirSpace, follow a suitcase on its journey from check-in through TSA, airline sorting, handling on the aircraft, and back to you on the baggage carousel. 

Thanks to our guest in this episode:

  • Jim Decker, Director of Ramp Operations for United Airlines at Dulles International Airport
