They're synonyms.

luggage comes from the verb lug, which means, to drag or carry with effort.

Baggage is also used in the sense of burden. She is his baggage - she depends on him, lives off him ....

In British airports, you get your luggage from baggage reclaim.;-)

We use both- baggage seems to be used more officially, in airports and the like. However, if talking about my suitcases, I'd call them luggage. ;-)

Hmm. I'd say, both are synonyms. Mind you, luggage does seem to be more European--and that men as well as children can also be called baggage. 8)

Only if you do not fly Delta (do not expect luggage to arrive)! :?

Americans may use "baggage" more than the Brits, but we use "luggage" for suitcases more than "baggage." We also use "baggage" for people's personal problems. :wink:

 

[Tdol]

We use 'baggage' for personal problems and as an insulting term for a difficult woman. ;-)
