John’s experience doesn’t end there. He offers another simple but often overlooked tip:
always hand your suitcase to the luggage workers with the wheels facing up .
This prevents the wheels from getting stuck or damaged as they slide along the conveyor belts.
A simple habit that extends the life of your luggage.
How to distinguish your suitcase without a strap
Fortunately, straps aren’t the only way to identify a suitcase at a glance. Here are some reliable alternatives:
- Choose a colorful suitcase: fuchsia pink, bright yellow, or with geometric patterns.
- Customize with fabric paint: an initial or a discreet pattern is enough.
- Use flat labels: perfect for personalization without interfering with machines.
- Add a printed protective cover, very stylish and completely safe.
These solutions enable rapid baggage recognition while remaining compatible with automated systems.
