Whether it's sabotage or not I don't know, but both arriving and departing recently was a mess.
Belt stopped 4x at arrival, each time had to wait 5min for someone to appear at restart.
Waited AT the checkin counter for 15min for agent to tag my bags after she'd printed them out - conveyor belt was backed up and nowhere for the bags to go. Line behind me did not move.
What a mess.
