<\/p>\nUnited flight from San Francisco first to use Pittsburgh’s baggage claim<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFLIGHT CAME IN JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. AVA, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US? WELL, RYAN, IT HAS BEEN BUSY DOWN HERE. LET ME TELL YOU. WE\u2019VE BEEN RUNNING ALL AROUND. I\u2019M SWEATING RIGHT NOW. I\u2019M NOT GOING TO LIE. WE WERE TALKING WITH PASSENGERS, THE CEO, WE TALKED WITH THOSE PASSENGERS WHO JUST GOT OFF OF THE UNITED SAN FRANCISCO FLIGHT. THEY\u2019RE NOW HERE IN THE BAGGAGE CLAIM AREA. AND MOST OF THE BAGS, AS YOU CAN SEE, ARE NOW GONE. SO THAT IS GREAT NEWS. WHENEVER I TIMED IT OUT, IT WAS ABOUT 17 MINUTES FROM THE TIME THAT THE FLIGHT LANDED TO THE TIME THE BAGS STARTED GOING. AND THAT\u2019S BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS TRACK AROUND THE CAROUSEL INSTEAD OF IT BEING EIGHT MILES LONG. IT IS NOW THREE MILES LONG, SO THAT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY CUT DOWN THE TIME. YOU\u2019LL HAVE TO WAIT TO GET YOUR BAG, WHICH IS SO NICE BECAUSE LET\u2019S FACE IT, ONCE YOU GET OFF YOUR FLIGHT, YOU JUST WANT TO GO GRAB YOUR BAG AND GO HOME. YOU WANT TO PUT ON YOUR COZY, RELAXED DRIVE TO WHEREVER YOU NEED TO BE. SO THAT IS REALLY NICE. AND THERE ARE NOW EIGHT OF THESE STATE OF THE ART CAROUSELS THROUGHOUT BAGGAGE CLAIM. SO REALLY COOL TO SEE HERE. NOW THIS IS ALSO THE WELCOME POINT. SO WE WERE OVER AT CONMIGO A LITTLE BIT EARLIER. THAT\u2019S A CAFE. SO WHENEVER YOU SAY YOU COME IN FROM YOUR FLIGHT YOU\u2019RE ARRIVING HERE. YOU CAN GO OVER, GRAB A LITTLE COFFEE, SIT DOWN AND RELAX. IF YOU\u2019RE WAITING FOR YOUR LOVED ONE TO COME AND PICK YOU UP. OR MAYBE YOU WANT TO JUST MEET SOME OF YOUR FRIENDS OVER THERE. TAKE A SECOND TO RELAX BEFORE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE. THAT\u2019S A GREAT OPTION. THERE\u2019S ALSO SOME OUTDOOR SPACES AS WELL HERE, WHICH IS REALLY COOL TO SEE. YOU CAN GET SOME FRESH AIR SO YOU\u2019RE NOT JUST STUCK IN THE AIRPORT NOW. A LOT OF THE PASSENGERS THAT WE WERE TALKING TO, THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, THAT THEY\u2019RE FROM PITTSBURGH. SO THEY SAID THAT THE OLD TERMINAL WAS A LITTLE DUSTY. THOSE WERE THEIR EXACT WORDS, NOT MINE. BUT THEY SAID, COMING IN HERE, IT\u2019S TRULY MAGICAL TO SEE YOU HAVE THE CONSTELLATION LIGHTS THAT ARE JUST TWINKLING ABOVE YOU. IT\u2019S LIKE DISNEY WORLD. SO REALLY EXCITING TO SEE ALL OF THIS. EVERYONE\u2019S SMILING. NOT EVERYONE TYPICALLY SMILES AT THE AIRPORT, SO I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A 1 IN 1,000,000 DAY WHERE EVERYBODY\u2019S JUST EXCITED, HAPPY. EVERYTHING\u2019S RUNNING ON TIME. SO IT\u2019S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE WE\u2019RE GOING TO START TURNING SOME OF THOSE INTERVIEWS THAT WE GOT. SO YOU CAN START ACTUALLY HEARING FROM THE PASSENGERS, FROM THE CEO ABOUT JUST HOW BIG OF A DAY THI\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
