When we arrived at Manchester Airport in June '96 we had over 20 pieces of luggage. The supervisor was called...fortunately the stickers the airline put on the luggage had been changed a week or so previously. He recognised that some of the luggage had been flown into the UK days before...so he waved all our luggage through.
