Do you also have this habit of being eager to disembark and rush to the baggage carousel as soon as the plane's engines are turned off? It’s awkward when people who got off later than you have already picked up their luggage, but yours still hasn’t appeared. What’s going on?

The UK's Daily Telegraphreported on this issue. It turns out that many travelers even enjoy trying different spots on the baggage carousel each time to see which one gets their luggage first. So how can you get your luggage sooner and head to your destination faster? A veteran baggage carousel employee revealed that the key lies in“the later you board, the earlier your luggage comes out”.

The reason behind this is,because the later you board, the earlier your luggage is placed on the baggage cart, and it’s also loaded into the aircraft last. As a result, it will be the first to be unloaded upon arrival. On the other hand, those who board early may end up waiting much longer at the baggage carousel.
