The £2 travel item that passengers swear by when checking in your suitcase – and makes baggage claim so much easier

AIRLINE passengers are going crazy for this £2 item that makes baggage claim much quicker.

The accessory keeps your suitcase safe - and also makes it easier to spot.

Luggage straps in a range of bright colours are being flogged for just £8 for a pack of four.

That means they work out at just £2 each.

The handy packs are being sold by Amazon, BlueCostco, Guanjunx and more.

One shopper hailed the durability of the accessory.

They wrote: "The neon green made the suitcase quickly identifiable in a world of black luggage.

"Strap is easy to adjust when you expand the suitcase. Held up well over six trips this summer."

Another commented: "At the airport, [as] soon as my bags appear on the luggage conveyor, the orange straps scream to me: ‘Hey, you, here we are, come get us'.

"None of the other hundreds of passengers have these easy-to-spot cargo straps.

";Instead, they struggle to look for their luggage, occasionally pulling and tugging at a bag that may or not be theirs."

It comes after a travel expert revealed how she uses a £1.25 travel item to both save space in her luggage and help her get to sleep during long flights.

Packing and getting comfortable on planes are two of the most stressful parts of going on holiday - but there could be a single solution to both problems.

A lot of people nowadays swear by packing cubes to help make packing easier.

The cubes save space in suitcases and prevent people from overpacking, while also making it much easier for them to organise their belongings.

However, travel reporter Joey Hadden explained how she has found another practical use for her cubes.

She explained that she always uses the cubes, even if she's only travelling with hand luggage.

However, hers also double up as pillows when she's struggling to get comfortable on long journeys.
