Here’s why you should never tie ribbon to your luggage

How to personalize your suitcase without risk

Fortunately, there are clever (and safe) ways to make your luggage easily identifiable without interfering with automated sorting. Travel experts recommend choosing a suitcase in a bright or unusual color: lemon yellow, mint green, or raspberry pink—anything but classic black or navy.

According to the magazine  Voyager malin , choosing an unusual color is the most effective way to quickly spot your luggage upon arrival. And if you prefer to keep your current suitcase, nothing prevents you from adding secure decorative elements: a well-placed sticker, a hand-painted design using fabric paint, or even a personalized leather tag.

Good habits to remember before packing your suitcase

Before each departure, take a few minutes to check these essential points:

  • Remove all old flight stickers and labels.
  • Avoid ribbons, strings or dangling objects.
  • Put a legible label with your name and contact information (without including your full address for security reasons).
  • Turn the wheels upwards before placing your luggage on the ground.
  • If you are carrying food products, place them in your hand luggage to avoid unnecessary checks.

Simple actions, but they can make  all the difference before departure  between a zen trip and a stressful start to your vacation!
