What’s it like waiting for your plane baggage to come out and “walk” on the airport conveyor to carry your luggage? Sometimes there is an unpleasant feeling looming, accompanied by boredom waiting and annoying things that accompany it, don’t you think? Well, maybe you’re not the only person who feels the situation.
Many people claim to be unhappy with the slow “delivery” of airplane baggage to the owner. Usually, these unpleasant situations and experiences get worse if you are at a super busy airport. The goods, suitcases or bags that you carry and leave with the airline to be taken to the destination are usually returned very slowly.
This should be understandable because there are baggage drop-off procedures that must be carried out, including lines for drop-off between airlines at each airport. However, if you want to outsmart the situation and hope to find your luggage first on the airport conveyor as the plane’s baggage claim, there are a number of things you can do. Come on, see the recommendations TripZilla Indonesia so that your plane baggage can leave at the earliest and can be collected quickly.
1. Understand the “first come, last out” principle
In the principles of hospitality and quality service, the principle of “first come, first served” applies. However, this does not apply to the aircraft baggage arrangement system. Normally, the first baggage that enters the cargo hold becomes the last baggage that is removed and handed over to the owner. This cannot be separated from the system of loading and sorting baggage into the cargo hold.
To be able to get your suitcases or bags or luggage or baggage from your plane leaving early, maybe you can consider checking in at the last minute. However, it should be noted that this strategy is high risk and potentially problematic. Besides you will be chased by time to be able to enter the plane’s entry gate, there is no guarantee that your baggage will be removed from the plane at the destination the earliest.
2. Paying for airplane baggage facilities for priority passengers
Priority passenger facilities are offered by almost all classy airlines, especially for business class passengers or permanent passengers who have their own loyalty status. Usually, aircraft baggage belonging to passengers of the above types will get a special mark so that it can be unloaded at the earliest. In fact, it is not uncommon for airplane baggage that gets this special label to have its own collection area.
Several airlines such as Air New Zealand have Fast Bag services for Koru members, Airports Elite and passengers with Gold status on domestic flight routes. Other airlines also have this service, although this system relies heavily on the cooperation and handling of the team in charge of the cargo and baggage department who are at the airport directly.
3. Carrying baggage into the cabin
Sometimes, you can test your luck by bringing your suitcases, luggage and bags into the airplane cabin. If the officer conducting the inspection fails to pay attention to your luggage, you can avoid the obligation to put your luggage in the cargo hold.
However, this is very risky as your carry-on bag will be with you during security. You must also comply with the rule that no liquids or other items are allowed in the baggage. If this does not pass the inspection, you might have to pay for additional baggage.
