Get Your Bags Faster

Sit at the Back

Bags are loaded last-in, first-out. Sitting at the back means your bags are loaded last and come out first.

Add a Bright Tag

A distinctive tag or ribbon helps you spot your bag quickly on the carousel.

Check Your App

Most airline apps show which carousel your bags will arrive at before you land.

Priority Tags

Priority handling tags can speed up bag delivery by 10-15 minutes.
