The problem:
During stopovers, your luggage passes into several hands, increasing the risk of delay or switching error.
The solution:
Direct flight considerably limits the risk of delay or loss of luggage.
- If a stopover is required, choose enough stopover time to avoid precipitous transfers.
Tip 4: Get out of the plane quickly
The problem:
The later you get to the luggage collection area, the more likely you are to wait.
The solution:
By booking a seat in front of the plane, you disembark faster and save precious minutes.
- Choose a front seat if your airline allows you to choose seats.
- If possible, board with priority passengers.
Tip 5: Identify your luggage with a personal touch
The problem:
All the suitcases are similar and confusion can slow down their recovery.
The solution:
An easily identifiable suitcase is faster to spot and less prone to errors.
- Add a colored ribbon, original cover or distinctive sticker to your luggage.
- Avoid basic black suitcases that are too common and easy to confuse.
Tip 6: browse directly to the luggage mat
The problem:
Many passengers take their time before going to collect their luggage (toilet toilet, duty-free stop, etc.).
The solution:
The faster you get to the treadmill, the more likely you are to get your luggage quickly.
- Save time by avoiding unnecessary detours after landing.
- If possible, use the quick queues to pass immigration faster.
Tip 7: opt for a priority luggage service
The problem:
In economy class, your luggage is processed in the standard order, which may lengthen the wait.
The solution:
Many airlines offer priority services for faster handling of luggage.
- Travel in business class or first for a service included.
- Some companies allow you to buy a surcharge for a priority piece of luggage, even in economy class.
Tip 8: Follow your luggage with a GPS tracker
