URGENT ADVICE NEEDED
I'm flying in 8hrs and I just realised that I might have fucked up:
I'm using a trekking bag as my check-in luggage.
It has loads of random straps. Like, fuckloads.
I'm realised now that these straps can get caught in the conveyor belts and get the bag torn apart...
WHAT DO I DO???
pic related, a bag with lots of straps (though not as many as mine)
Seram Wrap around it.
Maybe attach those straps to the main body of the bag with tape?
Put it in a garbag bag or something you twat. How the fuck do you idiots manage to keep yourselves alive when you're away from home.
OMG nobody has ever travelled with bags like these and kept their belongings! What have you done!?!?!?!
just tighten all the straps and wrap it in plastic wrap. sometimes there are stations at the airport where you can get them plastic wrapped.
It's a good idea to do all the time to keep your stuff safer.
I always put the raincover on the backpack before checking it in. Also flip the carriers on the front side and tie them together.

You should have gotten the Turtle backpack, it's a big backpacker pack with a special compartment you can fold all the straps into and zip it up.

Sometimes I just check it in. Sometimes they give me a plastic bag and tell me it needs to be checked in as "special luggage" or something.
You'll probably figure it out at the airport.
Alternately you can just wrap it preemptively.
