All right, let me try this again.

How do you say "baggage claim carousel" in Russian?

I don't like the multitran.ru variant: "вращающееся устройство для выдачи багажа авиапассажирам". It's too wordy.

Thanks for your help!

UPD: Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! I'll try these out on my next caller, and we'll see which one works the best!

нет, у нас это либо "лента" (slang), либо "транспортёр для выдачи багажа" (more officially).

We ussualy use just 'ribbon' or 'transporter for luggage delivery'.

usually, I have no special word for it.
but, maybe "багажный транспортер"

I don't need a special word, just one that will be understood. Lots of poor little lost exchange students, and they don't seem to understand when I ask them in English.

Багажный транспортёр or лента выдачи багажа would do.

[red-evi.livejournal.com]

Or место выдачи багажа.

Yeap, багажная лента or лента выдачи багажа. The former variant can be used in speach, while the latter can be written/printed.
