I wonder if the airport still provides such a service. I'm referring to those plastic tapes that are used to wrap around your luggage to prevent the goods from spilling or luggage break open as a result of harsh handling during loading and unloading.

If you mean the wrapping service then yes they are still there.

Yermanee----

I think the O.P is maybe referring to the " Banding" type wrap---i.e a plastic fibrous type band about an inch/25mm wide near each end of your suitcase that is put on tight with a hand machine { never seen an auto one ? }---that can only be cut off after fitting--- I have not seen one at the airport tho'--?? wai2.gif

They used to be applied years ago (Don Muang I believe) at the security check before check-in, but they where there to prove that your suitcase had been x-rayed, not to protect your luggage.

That's why I mentioned the wrapping service because that is solely intended for protection.

Thanks for the reminder though thumbsup.gif

Yep --your dead right Yermanee--

I can now remember that being done in another life --at Auckland Airport In N.Z--Them days we were all given

Gumboots/Wellies to help clear the cows and sheep off the runway before we could take off whistling.gif

--and before anyone starts the jokes about "Gumboots/ Sheep"--I've heard them all before wai2.gif
