Airline Warns Passengers About Using Black, Navy, or Grey Suitcases

Traveling can be stressful, especially when it comes to finding your suitcase at the baggage carousel.
If you, like most travelers, use a black, navy, or grey suitcase, the chances of grabbing the wrong luggage increase.
To avoid this confusion, Ryanair has issued a warning: passengers should choose more eye-catching suitcases or add colorful straps or tags to make them stand out.
Why You Should Never Tie a Ribbon to Your Suitcase
As one of Europe’s largest low-cost airlines, Ryanair transported 19.3 million passengers on over 106,000 flights in June alone.
With so many passengers and similar-looking suitcases, mix-ups are common.
Ryanair suggests using bright, unique features like colored straps to make your luggage easier to spot.
However, according to NineTravel, this advice isn’t without its issues. A baggage handler at Dublin Airport warns that extra straps and tags can interfere with the automated scanning process. Additionally, old stickers on your suitcase can cause problems with recognition by scanners.
To ensure your luggage is correctly scanned and arrives safely, it’s best to label your suitcase clearly and remove any old stickers that might cause confusion.
