Baggage Claims
Baggage Claim
Baggage claim at Terminal 4 is designed to be a simple and convenient part of your arrival experience at Kuwait International Airport.
After clearing immigration and passport control, please proceed to the Baggage Reclaim Area to collect your checked baggage. Your baggage will be delivered to one of the assigned baggage belts, also known as carousels or baggage reclaim belts.
Terminal 4 baggage claim includes baggage belts for arriving flights. Please check the information screens in the baggage claim area to confirm which belt has been assigned to your flight.
Finding Your Baggage Belt
Your baggage will arrive on one of the baggage belts in the reclaim area. Large information displays in the baggage claim hall will show the belt allocated to your flight, and each belt may also display the flight number or destination it is serving.
To avoid waiting at the wrong belt, please check:
