Baggage handler reveals why you should never tie a ribbon on your luggage

“Never pack marzipan in your luggage. It shares the same density as certain explosives, so your bag might be pulled, and you could be summoned off the plane for a bag search,” the Dublin baggage expert cautioned.

Lastly, before sending your luggage down the conveyor belt to handlers like John, make sure it’s wheels side up to avoid potential damage.
Farewell to Ordinary Baggage
Luggage design has come a long way in recent decades, and you no longer need to settle for basic black, brown, or navy baggage.

As noted by Travel & Leisure, black luggage “is one of the most—if not, the most—versatile colors, which is why it’s so prevalent.”

The outlet suggests, “For this reason, it’s worth choosing a different hue if you want your luggage to stand out at baggage claim. Consider a patterned suitcase or one in a bold color like hot pink.”

And if pink doesn’t suit your taste, you can find luggage in a plethora of bright, bold colors that will make your possessions pop among the rest.

Or, if you’re not ready to part with your current luggage, consider using fabric paint or stickers to add identifying features that won’t interfere with scanning.

John’s insights should ease some of the stress that travelers around the globe experience!
