The advice from John, a Dublin Airport baggage handler, highlights the practical considerations of making your luggage stand out without causing complications.
Attaching ribbons to your suitcase can hinder the scanning process, potentially leading to delays or missed flights.
Similarly, packing marzipan might trigger security concerns due to its density resembling some explosives.
To avoid these issues, it’s best to avoid adding ribbons or old stickers to your luggage and to opt for bright or patterned suitcases instead. If you want to personalize your luggage, consider using fabric paint or stickers that won’t interfere with scanning.
Properly preparing your luggage can help ensure it arrives at your destination smoothly and without unnecessary delays.
