Traveler advice for luggage durability and handling

Overview

A former airport ground handler, K. Handunnetti, has provided guidance on minimizing luggage damage and delays during transit. The advice emphasizes that while staff do not intentionally mistreat bags, human error and tight transfer windows are frequent causes of lost luggage.

To mitigate risks, travelers are advised to select durable, rectangular-shaped suitcases that are easier for staff to maneuver. The expert warns against using suitcases with weak or poor-quality handles, as these can lead to rougher handling. Additionally, selecting brands frequently used by aviation professionals, such as Globe-Trotter, Travelpro, GATE8, and Antler, is recommended to improve durability.
