United Passengers Reporting Delays Due To Baggage Problems At SFO
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – An issue with a machine that sorts baggage at SFO was causing delays for some travelers on United Airlines Monday, according to passengers.
The problem seemed to be isolated to United flights. Chopper 5 footage showed a backup of United jets lining up to be processed for departure along with dozens of luggage trailers. United workers were trying to sort the baggage by hand.
A number of United passengers reported facing departure delays for their flights on social media.
Broken baggage system at SFO, so we're delayed. Nobody seems too upset though thanks to CPT Charlie and FO Mike, who invited "kids and kids at heart" up to hang out in the cockpit. Sign me up! Only part of this @United 787-10 that's actually clean... pic.twitter.com/9xvovxD9UK

Hey @united our flight 295 from sfo is delayed due to baggage issues. Your captain and co pilot are super cool, gracious and I enjoyed talking to them and got a tour of the amazing avionics from the flight deck ????????

United has not issued a statement on the baggage problems, but one United worker told KPIX off camera that the issue appeared to be resolved.
