A baggage handler and luggage expert has warned UK passengers and tourists to AVOID packing four particular items when they're jetting off on holiday. European Union holidaymakers have been warned over the need to avoid packing four items.

Discussing his guidance on Reddit, the baggage handler had a warning for people flying with the UK's largest airlines - from Easyjet and Ryanair to British Airways, Jet2 and TUI - over packing food, drink - especially alcohol - as well as medications and cologne. He said: “They rot, break or leak, open. It smells, especially alcohol. Then I smell all day after picking up a bag that leaked.”

Another agreed and said: "If you are packing heavy, get something robust and something that rolls. You know those four wheeled hard case bags, they are light and easy to maneuver, easy to stack, much more likely to keep your belongings safe."

Another chimed in to say: "Remove old tags, if you have a bag tag from two years ago, as well as a load of other ones, it takes us infinitely longer to find the right date, for where it's supposed to be going, god forbid we actually misinterpret it and send it to the wrong place, this almost always happens because the tags are confusing and we only have an hour to sort 800 bags going to 3 places. (one person complained that we removed the old tags from their bag. We were furious.)"

And another typed: "Pack a full bag if you can, Obviously people like to leave space for shopping, but to maintain the stability and shape of the bag, fill it with something, newspaper, bubblewrap, or something, just so you dont have a load of empty space for your clothes to mover around, (this will decrease creasing in shirts and dresses as well!)"

"Picking out luggage that is ugly as sin will also guarantee nobody takes it off the carousel if you need to go pee or take a while to get through customs," another laughed, saying: "Also very easy to spot."
