Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking airports, luggage carts are placed near the check‑in counters or the baggage‑claim area. Some smaller stations may require you to ask a staff member, as the carts are kept behind a gate. Remember to say "por favor" and "gracias" – politeness goes a long way in getting quick assistance.
