Go onto Amazon and enter 'add a bag' I got these and they are great. I lash the cases together so just pull 1 with another 'attached' and a flight bag 'attached' to the top.

They have changed my Life! Well maybe not. Joking aside it makes it easy to get on the escalator and up to the monorail. I have a bad back and my Wife has a bad shoulder so we can't drag heavy items. These straps have been a Godsend.
Taking the 6yr old Granddaughter in August, little does she know she will be hauling a case!

Try E Bay. I dont use it but my Son got my straps for me like the Amazon ones but cheaper. Took 6 weeks to arrive from China! They are fine, had them circa 2 years so 6 trips so far.

I should qualify that it doesn't always add an hour but sufficient dibbers have said it sometimes does for us never to try it. . The second I step off the monorail it's Usain Bolt speed to the car.

How old is your daughter? I wouldn't think of suggesting you put her at risk. If you take it easy and carefully you could get one case on the escalator tread above you and one on the tread below you.

At least when you get to level three (monorail level) you do have the choice of lift or escalator down to the car hire garage level.

Joan and I manage a case each easily enough and we're both the wrong side of 70 Only have one cabin bag which hooks over the handle of the case. Joan has a handbag which is similar to Mary Poppins from which she unloads hat stands and aspidistras when we get to the villa
