Want to travel without waiting for your luggage at the airport carousel? There’s an art to it! Our travel consultants explain the top four ways to save time while you’re flying: savvy packing, priority baggage tags, airline delivery and baggage shipping.
You’ve done everything right.
Even though flying in Economy Class, you paid extra for a bulkhead seat at the front of the cabin. At the direction of the crew before landing, you got your stuff together, packed everything back into your carry-on bag, ready for a lightning-fast exit as soon as the door opens. To get out of the airport as quickly as possible, you’ve left no stone unturned — or so you thought.
You may be the first one off the plane but if you’ve checked a bag or two on the flight, you’re at the mercy of your airport’s ground crew and baggage handlers. Being the first to the carousel hurts that much more when you end up being the last to walk away with your bags.
