Think tying a ribbon to your suitcase is a genius travel hack? Turns out, it might actually delay your luggage—or even cause it to miss your flight! 😱
A Dublin Airport baggage handler, John, warns that those colorful markers can jam the scanning system, forcing your bag into manual processing and increasing the risk of it not making it onto the plane.
🔴 Leave the Ribbon at Home
Instead of ribbons or old travel stickers (which can also confuse scanners), opt for bold-colored luggage or add fabric paint or stickers that won’t interfere with the system.
💥 Avoid This Surprising Packing Mistake!
Love marzipan? Think twice before packing it. Airport security may flag your bag because marzipan has the same density as explosives! That could mean an unexpected bag search—and even getting called off the plane. 😬
🚀 Upgrade Your Luggage Game
If you want your suitcase to stand out at baggage claim, skip black and navy. Instead, choose a bright or patterned suitcase that’s easy to spot—without causing security issues.
These small tweaks can save you from unnecessary stress and travel delays. Share this with your fellow travelers so they don’t make these mistakes! 🧳🔥
