  • Rob: The publisher is still working on the design and I don't know the sales price yet. It will be available for purchase from May 24. I will return in October
  • Frank B.: Even though we plan to settle in Thailand and I have been following F70 since the early 1s, I hope this does not happen.
  • Robert: Attract tourists? Then they could simplify the visa system a bit...

  • Ton Prangku: Bert, a university in Thailand has a different level than what we are used to here in Europe. We would call it secondary here
  • Bert: Thanks for the nice tip! I also like to play games myself, but I don't know this one yet, I'll definitely take a look and see what it is
  • Bert: Well, as far as I'm concerned, Bangkok or an expensive private one is not necessary, nor would it be practical since it is a good 500km away from here

What happens to your suitcase after check-in? (video)

You are at the check-in desk at the airport for your flight to Bangkok. Your suitcase is labeled with a barcode and disappears on the conveyor belt. Always wanted to know what journey your suitcase takes before it enters the hold of your plane? Then you should check out this video.

It is funny to see that your suitcase has a long way to go and that this process is fully automated. This process must of course also be fast and efficient given the large numbers of suitcases that are offered daily. in 2018 more than 3,5 billion passengers traveled by plane, you can also imagine a huge number of suitcases.

    Impressive that the luggage still arrives at the right destination ….., but where does the security scanning take place ..? nothing to see….

      I think there is indeed a security scan to see.
      Safety scan after about 16-20 seconds on the video.
      Probably very fast, and maybe not really necessary.
      Given that the suitcase comes from a luggage cart, I think it already came from an airplane. Security risk is then very low.

        My suitcase was randomly opened at Bangkok airport and then neatly closed again, they also put a sticker on it that the suitcase had been opened. However, the gentlemen there were kind enough to put a different code in the locks of the Samsonite suitcase. When returning home, the suitcase was impossible to open, so force was used. Suitcase later but have it repaired. Can't imagine that this was the intention.

          Yes, I also experienced that once with a different code, only I did not use force to open the suitcase, but tried the codes from 000 to 999. If you are lucky, the new code is somewhere in the middle. Okay, you spend an hour on it, but then you have an undamaged suitcase and you save money and a lot of time to have the suitcase repaired.

    Seems even better than a roller coaster trip in an amusement park.
    Can't they make something like this for passengers too??
    After checking in you go straight to the rollercoaster on your way to the gate.
    It can not be faster , should something go wrong , which sometimes happens with the suitcases .
    Then you will not arrive in Bangkok, but in New York, for example.

    The whole installation is impressive, but unfortunately it is not clear what exactly happens and you get somewhere halfway through the video and there is no end to it, too bad.

    Manually filling the cargo section of the aircraft is hard and impressive work.
    Heavy cases, 20 – 30 kg. to stow in a small space!

    It is clear that this video shows the arrival of suitcases and not the departure. When you leave, things are completely different, especially with regard to the security scans. Have stayed in the 'cellars' of various international airports several times and I can assure you: the security scans are taken very seriously. At the slightest doubt, the suitcase will open and don't think that a code lock presents any problem to open. By the time you blink your eyes that is already open: have their specialists for that. You usually can't even notice that your suitcase has been opened. An interesting video in any case, thought just like Jan Beute: would be a nice fairground attraction…..

    Talk about fully automated but it's not like that most of it is still loaded and unloaded by hand and takes longer to get through the system I work in the baggage basement myself
