A man has lifted the curtain on a part of the airport few people get to see.
If you are a lucky air traveller, a visit to the airport means placing your bag down on the scale at the check-in desk before watching it ride the conveyor into the bowels of the travel hub, reappearing on a similar belt at your destination.
If you're unlucky, the bag will go missing for several days before turning up at the same airport, as happened to many holidaymakers in the UK last year.
Curious about what goes on behind that veil of rubber strips, Thomas Miller attached a camera to his bag and recorded its journey.
In a video which has got a huge amount of traction on TikTok, the case can be seen being placed onto the track before heading into the airport's innards.
On the way to the plane it makes several surprisingly sharp turns and rides down a number of fairly steep slopes, passing airport workers at it goes.
The video reminded a lot of people in the comments of Toy Story 2, where the climatic final scenes are played out on the conveyor belts in an airport.
While the real life version winds around on ground level rather than towering many storeys in the air like in the Pixar film, it is easy to imagine Woody desperately racing along the rubber runway in search of his friends.
Last year another TikToker offered his viewers a look behind the scenes of an airport, this time showing how bags are loaded onto a plane.
The aviation worker, who goes by the name Dj Sugue on TikTok, produces videos of himself at work as a self-described 'ramp guy'.
For most people, all they see of a baggage handler is from the window of a plane as they move bags from a truck onto the ramp leading to the plane. Dj Sugue sets cameras up inside the passenger and cargo planes that he loads, showing quite the method of loading and quite how small the hold is.
In one video he is seen lying on the floor in the hold, with the ceiling hanging about 1.2m above the floor. Bags are fed towards him down a conveyor belt for Dj Sugue to stack brick-like into a mini wall.
In another video he is seen loading parcels full of online shopping. In between waves of bags along the conveyor belt Dj Sugue stretches or has a little lie down.
Some people were left feeling uncomfortable due to the cramped quarters in which he finds himself.
"I cannot breathe by just watching the video, my phobia cannot," one person wrote, suggesting the plane compartment made them feel claustrophobic.
"What if they forgot you there?" another asked, while one person added: "I would love do the job but why do I feel scared".
