Waiting for your luggage at the end of a flight can be the worst time of your holiday - whether you've just arrived at you sunny destination or you've landed back in the Uk and you can't get wait to get home. A travel expert has now shared some tips they say will make sure your bags come out first when the luggage is taken off the plane.
If you check in last, because your bags were loaded last onto the plane, they should be first off when you reach your destination, according to Escape.com. Thomas Lo Sciuto, a ramp worker and gate agent at an airport, told Quora: "Bags will always be loaded front to back on the bag carts so if you check in last your bags will be in the last bag cart."
Some airlines will also allow passengers to pay extra to get their luggage delivered first, especially if you're travelling business class or you've signed up for a loyalty scheme - sometimes, it will even mean you have a separate luggage carousel, reports the Mirror.
Another hack, according to news.com.au, is asking for a "fragile" sticker for your luggage, as this could speed up your wait time when it comes to the baggage carousel, as the sticker will affect the order in which your bags are packed onto the plane.
Baggage tagged as being fragile will go into the plane last, which means it comes out the other side first, which equals less time to wait at the dreaded carousel. And, it could also be a good idea to remove any old tags from luggage, as well as opting for suitcases that stand out from the crowd.
