The next thing you do at the airport is you have to check in. The first thing you do when you check in is to check-in your bags. Lifting bag take a lot of work to pick up. If we use a 10 kg bag and lift it 1 meter and the gravity is 10m/s^2, we can use the equation work=mass*gravity*distance and we would find that the work would we would use would be 100 joules to lift the bag up.
