In addition to the ribbon tip, John shares another unexpected recommendation for travelers: avoid packing marzipan. “Don’t ever pack marzipan in your luggage. It has the same density as some explosives,” he explains. This startling fact could result in your bag being flagged for a security search, leading to additional delays at the airport.
So, what’s the solution? Instead of relying on ribbons or tags, consider other ways to make your luggage more recognizable without disrupting the scanning process. Choose a suitcase in a bold, distinctive color or personalize it with fabric paint, stickers, or other non-intrusive designs that won’t interfere with airport machinery.
By following these tips, you can not only reduce the stress of finding your bag at the baggage claim but also avoid potential delays, ensuring your luggage arrives safely at your destination.
