One of the most popular tricks among travellers for quickly identifying their suitcase on the airport conveyor belt is placing ribbons, bows or other coloured adornments on the handle. This practice is considered a simple and effective method for distinguishing luggage among dozens of similar suitcases.
However, a baggage handler has warned that this strategy may not be as advantageous as it seems. According to this specialist, ribbons and bows can cause practical problems, such as getting caught in the baggage handling systems or making it more difficult to properly handle the suitcase.
The article suggests that there are alternative precautions travellers should take before travelling, rather than relying exclusively on decorative ribbons to identify their luggage. These precautions include other practical measures that may be more reliable in ensuring that baggage arrives at the correct destination.
