Baggage handler reveals why you should never tie a ribbon on your luggage

If you’ve ever anxiously watched the baggage carousel at an airport, you’ll know the frustration of seeing countless identical suitcases pass by.

While many travelers tie ribbons to their luggage for easy identification, a Dublin Airport worker, John, warns that this can cause more problems than it solves. He explains that ribbons can interfere with baggage scanning, leading to delays and even missed flights.

John also advises against packing marzipan, as its density can trigger security alerts. Instead, consider using colorful or patterned luggage to stand out without causing scanning issues.
