Why That Ribbon on Your Luggage Might Be a Bad Idea
Many travelers tie colorful ribbons or use personal markers on their suitcases to easily spot them at baggage claim. While this may seem smart, an airport baggage handler from Dublin warns it could actually cause more problems.
According to the handler, these personal touches can confuse automated baggage systems or slow down handling processes. Worse, they can lead to your bag being mishandled or misidentified—turning your travel shortcut into a nightmare.
Sometimes, less is more when it comes to making your bag stand out.
