What's the Difference Between Luggage and Baggage?!!!!😱😱

'Luggage' and 'baggage' are unusual in that they're near-perfect synonyms of each other. However, 'baggage' has several additional meanings which 'luggage' does not share.

Airports have signs for both “baggage claim” and “luggage claim” and things like “unclaimed baggage” and “lost luggage,” which is unusual: words for property and equipment tend to be more specific. There is a slight preference of baggage over luggage in American English.

The major difference between baggage and luggage isn’t in the concrete meaning but in the figurative meaning: we say “emotional baggage,” “political baggage,” and “personal baggage” to refer to intangible things that get in the way—but luggage is never used in this way.
Furthermore, it seems that in British English, "luggage" is preferred. While in American English, "baggage" is preferred.
