In other to grab the right luggage at the luggage carousel, Ryanair, has warned passengers against using black, Navy or grey suitcases at the airports
BUSINESSINSIDERNG gathered that customers with black, navy or grey, luggages have chances to be extra vigilant to make sure they grab the right bag.
To this end, Ryanair has warned passengers against choosing luggage in any of those colours to “avoid confusion” when travelling.
Ryanair has issued an urgent warning to passengers who travel with the low-cost carrier to change their suitcases.
“Make it easier to spot your checked-in luggage on the carousel, especially if your luggage is black, navy or grey (like 99.9 percent of the population),” Ryanair said in a statement.
“Add a colourful luggage tag or ribbon to the handle so that there’s no confusion on arrival.”
In June, 19.3 million people travelled on one of the airline’s 106,000 flights. (AP)
However, the advice to use a ribbon as a point of differentiation is a contentious one, as other airline staff have previously warned against the practice.
A baggage handler from Dublin Airport warned anything extra on your suitcase could interfere with the automatic scanners at airports – especially ribbons.
“Ribbons that people tie onto their suitcases to help identify them can cause issues with the bag being scanned in the baggage hall,” he told RSVP Live.
He also recommended people take care to remove any old stickers on the bags otherwise it can “cause confusion with the scanning process.”
