Okay, yes. This is an ad for a Delta “track your luggage” app. And, yes, it blacks out the part where your luggage goes through security.
But it’s also a nifty little video that reminds me of the how’s-it-made genre of Sesame Street videos that I loved as a child. There’s just something about stuff riding on conveyer belts, know what I mean?
It was also interesting to get a reminder that luggage is loaded into and unloaded from the airplane by hand. So all the times I’ve stood around getting cranky at waiting for my luggage to show up on the carousel … there’s some people doing their best to get it to me fast and without throwing it around everywhere. I think, next time, I’ll have a little more patience.
