If you’ve ever stood in the middle of a crowded airport, nervously scanning the luggage carousel for your beloved possessions, then you’re probably familiar with the feeling of helplessness that comes with seeing a seemingly endless stream of similar bags go by.
Smart vacationers have known for a long time that tying a ribbon around their bag makes it stand out from the crowd. But a worker at the airport is warning that using personal identification is a hassle you can’t just ignore.
Keep reading to find out why marzipan and ribbons are not travel necessities!
Not even the most courageous traveler can face the prospect of misplaced baggage without experiencing a chill.
People have started decorating their bags with colorful ribbons to make them stand out, hoping that no one else would grab their bags or leave them sitting on the carousel for too long.
John, a veteran luggage handler at Dublin Airport, claims that these widely used strategies can backfire.
Actually, with their help, your worst travel nightmare may come true.
Forget the Bow
According to John, who spoke to RSVP Live, attaching unique ribbons to your bags can cause delays, which might cause your possessions to miss their flight.
While inspecting bags at the baggage claim, “ribbons that travelers tie onto their suitcases for easy identification can cause complications,” John told the news source. “If a bag cannot be scanned automatically, it will be processed by hand, which increases the possibility that your bag will not be allowed onto the flight.”
If you want to increase the likelihood that your bag will arrive at its destination on time, try checking it without the following identifiers: ribbons and old travel stickers.
“Take off any old stickers from your bags; they might mess up the scanning procedure,” John says.
The delicious almond-flavored dessert marzipan is another possible luggage hazard. John says that transporting marzipan can make you a target for airport security.
“Marzipan should never be carried in a suitcase. The Dublin baggage expert warned that since it has the same density as certain bombs, your suitcase might be searched and you could be asked to leave the aircraft.
As a last precaution, turn your luggage wheels up before feeding it to handlers like John on the conveyor belt.
