New Delhi: Ryanair, Ireland’s low-cost airline, recently issued advice that may save you from unnecessary travel headaches: Avoid using black, navy blue, and grey suitcases due to their frequent usage— the higher their chance of misplacement; this combination increases the odds that if one suitcase becomes lost or misplaced from its destination, the others could get mixed in as well. Ryanair advises choosing more colourful luggage for quick identification purposes – bright colours offer better identification.
Ryanair officials noted that travellers often prefer darker hues such as black, navy blue and grey when packing their luggage for travel – making them harder to spot at baggage carousels. As an effective solution to this issue, an airline spokesperson recommended placing colourful luggage tags or ribbons on the handles of these bags so passengers could quickly locate them while saving time at airports.
Frankfurt Airport officials have also expressed similar concerns, noting the difficulty in identifying black bags because so many passengers prefer this colour option when travelling. As a result, they recommended avoiding it in order to reduce the risk of losing belongings and maintain smooth travel experiences without unexpected issues or disruptions. According to Stephen Schulte, Director of Frankfurt Airport, travelling without black luggage ensures seamless journeys without unexpected issues or disruptions.
Lost luggage can have far-reaching repercussions that extend far beyond mere inconvenience; uninsured losses may not be covered by insurance and lead to severe financial hardship for those involved. Therefore, airlines and airport officials advise passengers to label their bags with unique markers so that if something goes amiss, they don’t get lost among crowds when their baggage goes missing.
