Luggage storage by scenario
Bag storage isn\'t a city problem — it\'s a moment problem. Layover between flights. Cruise boarding at 15:00. Festival day. Marathon start line. Wedding morning. These are the actual buying moments. Each guide below is the specific playbook for that scenario.

Why scenarios beat cities
"Luggage storage London" is a lookup query. "Where to drop bags before my cruise from Barcelona" is a buying query. The scenarios above target the second — moments where a traveller has a specific problem + is ready to pay €6-9 to solve it. Each guide includes real venues, real pricing, real logistics + real edge cases (post-race bag collection timing, festival camping bag rules, wedding formal-wear storage).
