Waiting for suitcases on the luggage belt at the airport is precious vacation minutes lost. Experienced travelers have a number of tips on how to get your luggage first.

For example, things are given out first to those who checked in last, as they are placed at the exit of the baggage compartment. OBOZREVATEL tells practical tips that can help ensure a quick receipt of luggage on arrival.

"Bags are always loaded from the nose of the airplane to the tail, so if you check in last, your bags will be in the last wheelchair with your luggage, so they will be taken out first on arrival," shared Thomas Lo Sciuto, a ramp worker and gate agent at the airport.

Some airlines allow passengers to pay extra to have their luggage delivered first. This loyalty scheme provides a separate baggage carousel with just a few suitcases whose owners have paid for this service.

At the check-in desk, you can ask for a sticker for your suitcase with a note that the contents inside are fragile. This means that it will be loaded on board separately and handed directly to you first. This flyhack will also save you from unexpectedly losing your luggage during pickup.

Consider the size and volume of luggage specified by the airline when purchasing tickets. Large or overloaded suitcases may delay their collection at the airport of your destination.

Some airlines have created mobile apps that allow you to track the status of your luggage. Thus you can find out when it was loaded on the plane, as well as get a message about its arrival on the luggage belt.
