Baggage Handler Warns Against Using Ribbons on Suitcases at Dublin Airport
As the travel season at Dublin Airport ramps up, a baggage handler is urging passengers to rethink using identification ribbons on their suitcases. John, a Dublin Airport worker, shared some essential tips to ensure smooth and safe handling of luggage. According to John, ribbons tied onto suitcases can cause delays in the scanning process at the baggage hall, potentially leading to manual processing and missed flights.
In addition to avoiding ribbons, John advised travelers to remove old stickers from their bags, place suitcases wheels up to minimize damage, and refrain from packing Marzipan due to its density resembling explosives. Meanwhile, Dublin Airport has issued a warning to passengers without car park bookings for the upcoming Bank Holiday Weekend, as all long-term parking spaces have been filled.
Graeme McQueen, daa’s media spokesman, reassured travelers of a hassle-free experience despite the high traffic volume, recommending alternative transportation methods such as buses, taxis, or drop-offs. With limited parking availability, McQueen emphasized the convenience of over 1,000 daily bus services connecting to all 32 counties, urging passengers to plan their journey ahead of time for a smooth start to their travel.
