Baggage reclaim
Once you are through immigration control you can proceed to the baggage reclaim area, where you can collect your baggage. Above each baggage carousel is an electronic display unit. You should look for the one which has your flight number and place of departure on it. This will be the carousel which your baggage will appear on. Collect a trolley and wait next to the appropriate carousel for your baggage to come through. If any item of baggage does not appear, find a representative of the airline on which you travelled and fill in a lost baggage form. Once you have collected your baggage, you can proceed through Customs Control.
Airport pick up may be arranged in advance where a college representative will meet the student at airport. Representative will then drop at the student’s accommodation or college if requested in working hours. Students are requested to contact the college and arrange atleast 2 weeks before coming to UK
