Anyone going on holiday this year warned by airlines about colour of suitcase they should never use

The weather in the UK has been surprisingly good recently but most of us will be dreaming of jetting off to another country to soak in the sort of sun and culture that Grimsby simply can't offer us.

Depending on your levels of organisation, airports can be an incredibly stressful place, especially for people following the crazy new trend on TikTok of arriving just 15 minutes before your gate closes. Not something I'd recommend.

People are always falling victim to the many rules imposed on us by airlines and if you're anything like me, the people you are travelling with simply aren't worth that extra £8 to Ryanair just to book specific seats next to them.

Many will make a common mistake that can cost you around £200, and it's not just buying a water and packet of crisps from WHSmith, so it's important to know as much as you can and to be as travel savvy as possible when heading out on holiday.

Now, if you want to avoid disaster, then airlines also offer some good advice which could make or break your holiday, and it involves being specific about the colour of your suitcase.

Ryanair have suggested that if you want to make sure you're the one leaving with your suitcase, and not someone with a very similar one, then you should avoid black, grey and navy coloured travel bags.

The airline explained: "Make it easier to spot your checked-in luggage on the carousel, especially if your luggage is black, navy or grey.

"Add a colourful luggage tag or ribbon to the handle so that there's no confusion on arrival."

The last thing you'd want to do before your holiday to the Bahamas is accidentally pick up a suitcase belonging to someone heading to Iceland, not to mention the many other crucial personal items, such as mentos and Uno, that you might have packed in there.

It's not just airlines that are warning passengers though, as Frankfurt Airport boss, Stefan Schulte, has also urged people to avoid black luggage while travelling, as his airport has struggled with baggage, as they are 'hard to distinguish from each other.'

He said: “Many people travel with black suitcases on wheels which makes identifying them very time-intensive.”

If you can't be bothered buying a new one, just make sure that your suitcase is as distinguishable as possible.

So, it turns out that it's not just Martin Lewis who can hand out the helpful travel advice. Next time you go suitcase shopping, maybe it's worth getting the bright pink one, as the alternative could well be losing all your belongings.
