I’m a flight attendant – this is the dangerous mistake I see loads of passengers making with their luggage A FLIGHT attendant has warned of a dangerous mistake passengers often make with their luggage. American Airlines crew member Ally Case urged her 850,000 TikTok (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/tiktok/) viewers to not make the critical error, which could cost them dearly.

She added: “I cannot tell you how many people I see, on a daily basis, with their information displayed for anyone to see. “I don’t even like strangers to know my name… No chance I’m going to have my phone number and home address on display.” Earlier this year, The Sun reported (https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/27749666/flight-suitcase-avoid-checking-in-luggage/) on another flight attendant warning to avoid taking a much-loved type of suitcase on holiday. The suitcase is considerably less durable than other types and is more likely to break while in transit in the cargo hold. Flight attendant of 16 years Emilie said travellers should never take a hardcover suitcase with them on a flight, if they are choosing to check in their luggage. She told retailer House of Fraser: “Passengers tend to think that hard-shell suitcases are more resistant than fabric ones, but it’s actually the opposite. “Hardcovers can get easily broken by the pressure of the other bags once they’re all packed together in the hold.” The flight attendant added: “To avoid damage to your bag, I always recommend choosing a fabric suitcase as these are actually more durable. “Picking one in a bright colour can help you spot your bag more quickly during baggage delivery. Just avoid white as it won’t stay that colour for long!” Another common bag mistake people make, according to Emilie, is opting for a four-wheel suitcase. She said: “These are never as durable or reliable as a two-wheel spinner and I’d always avoid them.”
