    We always check a bag and we have never waited more than 20 minutes to get through the airport. We have never had a problem and I’m talking about from getting off the plane to getting our ride to our resort. Takes all of 20 minutes. Get an early flight and all your problems are solved.

    I didn't have any trouble getting my checked bag at the airport arriving. On the way home it was a bit of a mess checking the bag but it didn't take too long. I would add to your list one more. Try to avoid the guys who wait for people at the baggage carousel who are just trying to squeeze tips out of the tourists by taking their baggage like 40 feet to the car service desks. It's a total waste of money.
