If you\u2019ve ever anxiously scanned the baggage carousel at the airport, you know the stress of finding your suitcase among a sea of similar-looking bags. While many travelers attach colorful ribbons to their luggage to make it stand out, a Dublin Airport baggage handler warns against this common practice.<\/p>\n
According to John, the baggage handler, \u201cRibbons that people tie onto their suitcases to help identify them can cause issues with the bag being scanned in the baggage hall.\u201d He explains that if a bag can\u2019t be scanned automatically, it may require manual processing, potentially causing delays and even missing your flight.<\/p>\n
Another surprising tip: avoid packing marzipan. \u201cDon\u2019t ever pack marzipan in your luggage. It has the same density as some explosives,\u201d John says, warning that this could lead to your bag being flagged for a security search.<\/p>\n
Instead of using ribbons, consider choosing a suitcase in a bold color or adding fabric paint or stickers that won\u2019t interfere with scanning. By following these tips, you can reduce the risk of airport mishaps and ensure your luggage arrives safely at your destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
