One reason why bags get is they don’t make the plane. Some airlines take bags until 30 minutes before takeoff which puts a strain on airport security and airline baggage handlers. If there’s a large volume of bags already in the bag conveyor system, it could take several minutes for your bag to be screened by security, and if the bag needs to be searched that adds time. Even if it doesn’t need to be opened, the bag may not reach the baggage handlers before they load all the bags into carts and take them to the plane. Sending someone back for a couple last minute bags is often not an option. due to low staffing.
