Is there a standard time for baggage to arrive at carousel?
Silly question maybe. Is there any guidelines per airport as to how long the average time is for bags to get to the carousel

At my home airport, YVR, I've waited between 20 and 60 minutes for bags over the past 12 months. So there is no consistency, even at a single airport. |
At EWR on certain days you could schedule dinner and a movie in between deplaning and receiving your bags. At SFO one time, I had my bags waiting for me 5 minutes after I deplaned. It's a crapshoot.

Shorter wait at smaller airports; longer wait at larger airports. On average, 15-30 minutes from when the door opens.

2,500 miles or $50 voucher on AS if bags are not delivered within 20 min's. 2,500 miles on DL (same 20 min's for a limited time). UA, AA squat (at this time). DL is currently running a test and there is a reason for the test, which I will tell when it is over.
Happy travels. |

I don't know that it's airport-related. For international arrivals at ORD, no matter how quickly I come off an AA flight, my bag is usually waiting for me when I get to the carousel. (I'm sometimes puzzled by how they do this.)
For a UA flight, even if I'm last off the plane, there will be a delay before the first bag arrives, let alone mine. Both airlines send bags to the same carousel area. |

This might be because all bags have to go to the same place (customs), and none need to be rerouted to other flights?

UA takes longer to deliver bags, because it is UA.

Premier bags are supposed to hit the carousel 14 minutes after blocking in at the gate. However, we all know that never happens. Unless you are in some of the small UAX stations where I have seen it happen.

I believe that the standard time for bag delivery is 10:32 AM

Not on UA, (AS they do!). It will get even worse as they are outsourcing baggage handling at more airports. In DEN it got terrible.
