Make sure you have very distinctive luggage (customise it if need be!) - makes it easier to spot at the carousel.

Best hack is to join a credit card with lounge access, or buy it. It makes it so much nicer.

Look into whether you can get a train to your European holiday destination, rather than getting a flight. The Eurostar only takes around 2hrs from St Pancras, London, to get to either Paris or Brussels city centres.
