After a long flight, waiting for luggage can be frustrating. Although there's no guaranteed way to retrieve bags faster, strategies can improve your chances. Airlines handle millions of bags daily, with systems in place to prioritize certain bags. Debunking the myth that economy tickets affect bag priority, expert Jesse Neugarten explains that handling depends on when and how a bag is checked. Katy Nastro, a travel expert, emphasizes that being a frequent flier or having elite status helps in prioritizing luggage, increasing the likelihood of being among the first at baggage claim.
"A lot of travelers believe that paying for checked luggage through a basic economy ticket somehow deprioritizes their bag. However, that's not the case."
"Being a frequent flier or holding elite status is your best bet. Airlines often tag these bags differently, making it easier for the system to separate them."
