Try using this hack if you want your bag to come out first in the airport

Olivia Hayes

It’s one of the most annoying things about travelling.

When you go away on holiday, whether it’s a long trip or not, the minute you step off the plane you just want to get to your destination.

But no, you have to wait for your bags and it takes roughly 3.5 years for your suitcase to come out. Not ideal.

We sit there and watch and it seems like every. Single. Time. our bags are the last ones.

Well, if you want to try beat the system, there’s a clever hack you could try the next time you head away.

When checking in, ask the attendant to put a fragile sticker on your bag (they will have loads of them behind the desk).

Bags that are marked as fragile are put on the plane last, and will therefore come out first. Handy.

Now, we’re not saying it’s going to work every time, because… airports. But it would be handy if you’re in a rush or need to catch a bus or something.

Sure, no harm in trying.
