Why is it necessary to pack extra luggage at the airport?
Recently there was a discussion on this forum about this topic. I suggest you read one more argument: http://aloban75.livejournal.com/3030297.html

And who told you this? Why is it necessary? This is absolutely optional, so as not to spoil the suitcase and possibly so that it would not be opened.

Mandatory at airports in Egypt. According to one version of the investigation, an explosive device was carried into the plane that exploded in 2015, putting it in the luggage of tourists

Ukrainians in Egypt must pack in an exclusive manner. Before departure, she rewarded her Belarusian friend with a packing bag and tape, as it turned out in vain. At our counter they can still check the strength of the packaging, but there is no packaging in the new terminal ... so turn it around as you like. All nations and peoples march briskly with bare suitcases. Only we are completely packed, only we have fun on the airfield with the shameful loading of our luggage. Argumentation ... on the way to the plane, luggage can be loaded with some kind of bad. These demonstration performances wahh what kind of security got pretty fed up in a year and a half. It is clear to whom the advertising action is addressed, but why were the Ukrainians appointed "cats"? Who is taking revenge on us and why? Monotonous guesses visit;)
PS. according to the link ... there is definitely no such insanity in egi. Looks a lot like fake

I was in Egypt in December, there is not even packaging equipment there, but there used to be. The cleaners came and offered to pack the luggage. So there is nothing mandatory in the package.

Personally, I especially liked that "a new kind of fraud" has been practiced at airports for twenty years.
We were also tyrannized in Sharm. Are Belarusians really not satisfied with such ideas? A bunch of people from Russia are rushing through Minsk ...

After the "conscientious" workers at Domodedovo airport removed the package of "Parliament" from our suitcase, my husband and I immediately learned how to wrap our suitcases ourselves and take a film with us for packaging on the way back.
Of course, the methods of "security" at airports in Egypt cause, as they say, both laughter and tears. But there's nothing to be done, apparently someone "smart" came up with this whole system.

We flew from Kyiv to Sharm twice, at the end of January and in the middle of March. At the airport, before check-in for the flight, it is obligatory to pack the checked baggage. Hand luggage is not packed. Officially, the receptionist wraps the suitcases of all tourists in line for registration with foil for free. Before boarding, each passenger must personally select their luggage on the airfield near the aircraft and hand it over to the aircraft on the conveyor belt.

We flew to Sharm at the end of December with a large bag on wheels and a lock. They put it in luggage and did not pack anything. From Kyiv.

It is recommended to pack. Can be from home. And take a small roll of film and a small adhesive tape with you.

tbgor, you unsubscribe the situation of departure to Egypt.
And in the subject explain the situation with luggage when departing from Egypt.
Since the fall of 2015, free rolls of packaging film have been available at check-in counters at all airports in Egyptian resorts. And before checking in luggage, the tourist is OBLIGED to roll up his suitcase. Regardless of where he flies. In Ukraine, Belarus or Germany. In new terminals, in old terminals - it doesn't matter. There are unique ones that are packaged for 10 dollars. But that's a completely different story.

ate-burned, yes, as much as possible, that's the joke that ONLY UKRAINIANS are obliged to pack during the return flight. It has already been explained here that Belarusians are not squashed. I repeat, the rest of the countries are also free from mandatory packing and shameful excavations of their luggage near the aircraft. We are the "chosen ones"

Unsubscribe for the Belarusians)))
Last year (2016) we flew to Hurghada from Minsk. My friend and I didn’t pack anything either back or forth, simply because we didn’t know that it was “mandatory” and in general we were in Egypt for the first time.
The baggage of our passengers was checked selectively. And those who packed, and those who did not.
They simply pointed a finger at the luggage and took it aside for additional inspection. So, brothers - Slavs, this also affected us. By the way, upon arrival in Minsk, my suitcase turned out to have a broken retractable handle, but I don’t think that this is due to the fact that it was not packed))
I repeat, flight Minsk-Hurghada, 2016. Perhaps for a year or in Sharm el-Sheikh, the rules are different.
This year we are flying from Boryspil, and so our tour operator strongly recommended packing a suitcase because Ukrainian lines are not famous for their correct attitude to luggage. Nothing personal, just information))

ledi.lana, You might think that in Egypt (at the airport of Sharm or Hurghada) your luggage is unloaded like a "crystal vase". Luggage packed with film is not a guarantee against damage, for example, getting a suitcase with a broken wheel or handle.

Additional wrapping with cling film reduces the likelihood of damage.
They throw luggage when reloading at the airport, God forbid. And I don’t think that the Egyptian services are fundamentally different in this from the Ukrainian or Russian ones.

"Since when did they begin to oblige only Ukrainians to pack?"
good question ... for a year and a half, they packed, suffered, cursed on the airfield 7 times. But I thought about it only this January, when the Belarusians frankly laughed at our "safe departures." Then I thought about it and interviewed the bourgeois in the port ... the experienced did not even notice the tightening if it were not for the new scanners and random checks. Nobody except us is forced to pack, they don’t land on the airfield. By the way, a lot of familiar Russians fly by self-tour with Turks and also laugh at our "safety". So think where the dog rummaged (c)

The last time we flew from Sharm was at the end of September. We always pack, but at the same time, about 60 percent of the suitcases were not packed. Nobody obliged. The loading into the plane was independent. For some reason, almost everyone had their lighters taken away. The first time we encountered this.

We have been flying to Egypt (and back, of course) on vacation for 4 years now. Usually we take a sports bag in our luggage. It has never been packed, and no one forced it.

Are all Ukrainians really forced to "seal" luggage, and when did it start? I would like specifics, because six months ago this was not the case.

I repeat. They flew from Kyiv and, accordingly, to Kyiv. They took the film with them just in case. But they did not pack either there or back. In December 2016. Yes, lighters were taken away.

They wrote absolutely correctly, packing luggage primarily for ourselves and our luggage))) flew in October 2016 and April 2017. I saw a lot of unpacked Suitcases and bags ... maybe before it was a must ...

In fact, those who never wrap their backpacks, suitcases or bags with foil have absolutely nothing to be proud of.
I've been crossing the road at red lights all my life, but this does not mean that everyone should do this.
Packing your luggage or not is a personal choice for everyone. No one obliges you to do this (it has been written here more than once that this is mandatory).
I'm wondering: what about other areas?

but I’m wondering who did NOT participate in the loading insanity that began in egy from December 2015?
Photo January 17th, 7 trips during this period, last one a month ago. All times the same procedure. Requirements to pack EVERYTHING in order to make it impossible to put too much into stray luggage. Who comes to the port already wrapped up, who winds at the counter with a ball film. All passengers are unloaded on the airfield, everyone finds their wrapped belongings and transfers them to the loading belt. Once they were waiting for a check-rewind of luggage, the cat unwound along the road. Otaka x * nya, little ones (s)

Luggage was packed for everyone standing at the check-in, regardless of citizenship and flight. no one checked either passports or tickets when packing. just an employee came up to everyone and packed the luggage. I repeat, except for hand luggage, any size and weight

And we just spoiled the suitcases a couple of times. Therefore, we adapted: we always buy a couple of huge garbage bags in a hardware store, preferably in bright colors, so that they are easily recognized on the tape and ... tape to help us. At least the packed ones have never been scratched or opened, thank God

People take it easy. For me, let them check what later my mother will look for me in the lists. You are flying from vacation or to vacation, relax, do not load the poor brain, it gets through life anyway, let the workers rage at them with an additional load. In January, no one obliged me to fly to Egi, no one packed, but under the plane, an uncle from the security service of our own plane said to poke your finger into your suitcase and the airport employee will put it on the tape. So have a good rest everyone.
