A BUDGET airline has revealed the top suitcase colour to avoid if you want to keep your luggage safe this summer.
Ryanair has warned holidaymakers which luggage mistakes could mean they end up losing their belongings.
The budget carrier has shared which colours are best not to pick when checking in at the airport.
Unsurprisingly, grey, blue and black are the most common luggage colours which makes it difficult for passengers to find theirs.
Your suitcase could get nicked at the carousel or mistaken for someone else's when it doesn't have any distinguishable features.
Ryanair has advised travellers to avoid these colours altogether or add a distinct trait to make it stand out from the rest.
They said: "Make it easier to spot your checked-in luggage on the carousel, especially if your luggage is black, navy or grey (like 99.9% of the population).
"Add a colourful luggage tag or ribbon to the handle so that there's no confusion on arrival."
Frankfurt Airport boss Stefan Schulte even warned travellers to avoid black after the airport has struggled with baggage, similar to the problems at Heathrow.
He said it was "hard to distinguish them from each other” with an airport spokesperson adding: “Many people travel with black suitcases on wheels which makes identifying them very time-intensive.”
Apart from the colour, holidaymakers should be careful when picking the material of their suitcase if they are choosing to check in their luggage.
A flight attendant has previously warned which kind of suitcase is considerably less durable than others and is more likely to break while in transit in the cargo hold.
Here are some of the best suitcases to buy this year, and the most affordable suitcases.
Meanwhile, a travel guru has issued a warning to travellers who are keen to pack their suitcases to the brim this summer.
The expert revealed which items to "never put in your checked bag, regardless of how short your flight is".
This comes after travel expert Gavin Lapidus previously revealed a little-known luggage tip that could save people money when booking flights.
WITH decades of experience and hundreds of countries under their belt, the Sun Travel team have shared some of the essential items they always pack on a trip.
Here are some of the game-changing items we always pack - and some will barely cost you a thing.
He said it was crucial that jetsetters buy luggage at the right time, as prices can fluctuate significantly.
Ryanair, for example, offers the option to buy a priority ticket which includes a cabin bag and 10kg luggage in the price.
But Gavin said the prices for the package vary greatly - between £6 and £24 - depending on timing and how many people have purchased the option.
If travellers would prefer to travel with only hand luggage, there are tips and tricks they can use to get the most out of the smaller space.
The best technique may be the classic folding technique, using four different travel bags, according to a study conducted by Which?
Where Which? managed to fit 67 pieces of clothing into an underseat travel bag, the brand could only fit 60 items when using vacuum bags.
And only 66 items fit using packing cubes, as the technique left "gaps between each cube".
A total of 129 items fit in the four bags - two underseat and two carry-on size - when rolling, compared to 121 rolling, 118 using compression cubes, and 113 using vacuum packing.
A woman has also been hailed as "genius" after revealing a hack to get more luggage for free on a Ryanair flight.
Sara Loureiro took to TikTok to share how her friend Nina managed to take four bags on holiday with her, whilst paying for just one.
