A baggage handler recently shared an important tip: never tie a ribbon on your luggage. While it may seem like a good way to make your bag stand out, it can actually cause problems.

Tying a ribbon can get caught in conveyor belts, machinery, or other luggage, leading to delays and potential damage to your bag. In some cases, ribbons can even get tangled in other pieces of luggage, creating safety risks.

Instead, consider using luggage tags or unique, colorful markers that are securely attached to your bag. These will make your luggage easily identifiable without causing any complications during the handling process.
