Experienced travelers often opt not to check in luggage to avoid delays, difficulty in identification, or concern about it not reaching its destination. Some passengers choose to add personal markings on their luggage for easier identification, but a baggage handler at an Irish airport revealed that this common practice can actually cause delays in delivering luggage. The use of bright-colored ribbons, luggage tags, or other accessories may cause issues during scanning at the baggage hall, potentially leading to manual handling and missed flights. The handler advised removing old stickers from luggage to avoid confusion during scanning.
