It’s always a pain to get off the plane and have to wait ages at the carousel for your luggage to arrive.
But now a travel expert has revealed a way to get your bag to arrive first – and it doesn’t cost a penny.
Hadleigh Diamond, the commercial director at SCS Chauffeurs, explained that a lot of his clients use the same trick to get their luggage without a wait.
‘Clients regularly tell us that the difference between a good travel day and a stressful one often starts with baggage reclaim,’ said Hadleigh.
‘If you’re standing waiting for 30 minutes while the carousel clunks out someone else’s bags, your trip can feel so much longer. But the fragile sticker trick is a game-changer – and it often works.’
The travel expert explained: ‘We’ve heard this tip from both airport ground staff and frequent flyers.
‘You don’t need to lie or explain – just politely ask the check-in agent to add a “fragile” sticker to your suitcase.
‘It’s not guaranteed, but more often than not, your bag is among the first out. We’ve seen it work time and time again.’

As fragile luggage will generally be loaded last, it’s likely to be unloaded first
Travellers can ask airport staff to put a fragile sticker on their bag when they check-in. As fragile luggage will generally be loaded last, it’s likely to be unloaded first.
It might not take hours off the wait at the baggage carousel, but it could save holidaymakers a few minutes.
Of course, the easiest way to minimise time spent at the airport is to travel with just hand luggage.
Holidaymakers may soon avoid the frustration of paying extra fees for carry-on luggage at the boarding gate – thanks to proposed changes in EU airline rules.
The EU Parliament transport committee has approved new regulations that would grant all passengers the right to carry a handbag or small suitcase weighing up to 7kg at no extra cost.
Under the amendment, passengers would be allowed one cabin bag with dimensions measuring up to 100cm, in addition to a smaller personal item that fits under the seat.
This proposal could significantly impact budget airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz Air, which currently charge extra for larger cabin baggage.
