Here’s a smart travel tip that many frequent flyers swear by: mark your luggage as fragile, even if it isn’t. While it may seem a little cheeky, adding a fragile sticker can actually work in your favour. Baggage handlers are typically more careful with items marked this way, which can help reduce the chances of your belongings being thrown about or damaged in transit.
But there’s another bonus too — bags labelled fragile are often loaded last onto the plane, meaning they’re among the first to be unloaded when you reach your destination. That can get your bag on the carousel quicker and help you beat the crowds at baggage claim. Just pop a visible fragile tag or sticker on your suitcase, and you might save yourself both time and worry. It’s a simple, no-cost trick that could make your journey that little bit smoother.
