Protect Your Luggage
Before handing your bag off, make sure it’s wheels-down to prevent damage. And while black, navy, and brown remain popular, bright or patterned luggage can make spotting your bag easier—without risking scanning issues. Fabric paint or permanent stickers on the suitcase itself are safer alternatives to tied-on ribbons.
Key Takeaways:
- Skip ribbons and old stickers for faster scanning.
- Remove any dense sweets like marzipan to avoid security delays.
- Keep your luggage wheels-down when checking in.
- Bright, patterned, or personalized suitcases help you identify your bag safely.
Following these tips could save you from unnecessary stress—and help your luggage arrive with you, not on its own adventure.
