A 300° panorama of the baggage claim area of Hong Kong International Airport. Air passengers collect their checked-in luggage from the baggage carousels before exiting the airport terminal. In areas handling international arrivals, the baggage claim is typically located after immigration control and before customs, so that all baggage can be inspected by customs agents, but the passenger does not have to handle heavy baggage while moving through the passport booth.
