Checked baggage


I am away again, this time I have a sales conference in Prague immediately followed by an internal management meeting.in Palma. The clothing requirements for both are different and as a result I cannot get away with my usual hand baggage only regime. As a result of this I have a suitcase and It has cost me an additional hour in traveling time today.


The check in desks open 2 hours before check in and close 45 minutes prior to departure. In order to make sure that I did not miss check in I was at the airport 90 minutes before departure and on the arrival in Prague the baggage took 30 minutes to arrive on the belt. If I only have hand baggage and used internet check in I would normally arrive an hour before departure and can walk straight out at the other end. Given that I take about 60 trips a year I save a working week and a half by not checking in baggage and my baggage never goes missing.
