If speed of progress, rather than cost, is your concern, then baggage handler Thomas Lo Sciuto, who works at a regional airport in the US has some advice for you. He told Quora that the best way to ensure your luggage is first off the carousel at your destination is to be one of the last passengers to check your bags, adhering to a "last on, first off" logic. However, he also suggests using a more strategic tactic, backed up elsewhere: ask the check-in agent to put a fragile sticker on it, since this luggage is usually put on last – and thus, more likely to emerge first at the other end.
