BERLIN: Luggage doesn't always arrive at the same time as the traveller. Sometimes your bags don't make it onto the plane and, in the best case scenario, are delivered to you later. Other times your luggage ends up on the wrong baggage carousel at the destination airport.

When things like this happen, it's good to know where exactly your luggage got stuck so you can at least work out whether it's worth sticking around at baggage claim.
