Luggage Etiquette: Do's and Don'ts at the Airport

Small Habits, Smoother Airports for Everyone

Airports are shared, often crowded spaces, and a little luggage etiquette goes a long way toward making the experience better for you and everyone around you.

Do: Use the Overhead Bin Efficiently

Place bags wheels-first to maximize space, and only use one bin slot per bag so other passengers have room.

Don't: Block the Aisle While Loading

Have your boarding pass and any needed items ready before you reach your row, and load bags quickly to avoid holding up boarding.

Do: Keep Your Suitcase Close on the Belt

Stand near where your bag will likely appear rather than crowding the entire carousel, and grab your bag promptly once it arrives.

Don't: Leave a Cart or Bag Unattended

Unattended luggage can trigger security concerns and is also simply inconsiderate to others navigating a busy terminal.

Do: Choose Easy-to-Handle Luggage

Suitcases with smooth spinner wheels move faster and more predictably through crowded spaces, reducing collisions and slowdowns for everyone nearby.

Our aluminum hard shell suitcases with 360-degree spinner wheels make it easier to navigate airports considerately and efficiently.
