Does anyone know if the airport has a luggage plastic-wrap service?

Many thanks...

I used it there 2 years ago – I guess it’s probably still there.

Sorry, just noticed this is the Don Mueang forum - I was refering to Suvarnabhumi. No idea about Don Mueang.

IMHO in these times of scarcity of natural resources, it is completely socially unnacceptable to waste our natural resources wrapping luggage in petrochemical products. This kind of activity should be banned.

yes, i think there are at least 2 wrapping service's in Suvarnabhumi...cost 120 baht per suitcase...always use them..last time in Dec 2012.. you can find them near the entry/exit doors.

Question:

What is the point of wrapping luggage? What does it accomplish?

I had just bought a set of new suitcases; the wrapping service protected them from scuff marks but more importantly for me, put my mind at rest that they were not going to burst open since they were packed so tightly that they were difficult to close. I used it again on the return journey (from Glasgow) and would do so again in the future.

Its main use is to prevent people tampering with the luggage.

A little bit of added security.

Mostly used with rucksacks.

Actually that was to protect a set of three vintage -and empty!- Globe Trotter suitcases.

Problem has been solved by packing them all in a cheap huge suitcase bought at a local department store sale...
