An airline worker filmed 110 bags being loaded into the belly of a plane before take off. The 30-second clip, posted on TikTok, intrigued viewers who “always wanted to know” where bags are kept on flights

At the start of the cut, Chris pulls the conveyor belt to the far end of the plane and begins stacking the luggage.

As more luggage comes in and the area begins to fill up, Chris shortens the conveyor belt and at one point is even seen patiently waiting for more luggage to arrive.

Once all bags are safely stacked, the video ends.

In another video, Chris stacked 104 suitcases on a plane with less luggage space.

To prevent the bags from moving, a tight net-like curtain was attached from the ground to the ceiling.

According to Clever Journey, luggage is placed on the upper decks of cargo planes or lower decks of passenger planes.

The first TikTok has now been viewed over 8.2 million times and received thousands of comments.

“I’ve always wondered why,” wrote one, while another said: “I never realized how much work it was, I didn’t realize they had to be wrapped like this! Good stuff!’

A third admitted that she would “feel claustrophobic doing this job.”

“I’m playing tetris on hard mode,” joked another.
