A baggage handler at a major international airport has issued a strict warning to millions of avid travellers who add a personal marker to their checked bags.
Millions of travellers worldwide have been warned against opting for a simple and popular travel hack designed to speed up travel processes, as it in fact does the complete opposite.
However, speaking to RSVP Live on Monday, Dublin Airport baggage handler John advised travellers to remove the ribbons as the hack in fact delays bags from arriving on the baggage carousel. “If the bag can’t be scanned automatically it can end up in manual processing, which could mean your bag doesn’t make it to the flight”.

Customers who have the Virgin Australia app and have enabled notifications can receive alerts when their baggage has been checked-in and loaded onto the plane.
