Luggage Lock Troubles After an Emirates Flight
We recently enjoyed a flight in Emirates Business Class. After touching down, my mom mentioned her luggage felt a bit different to open, but we didn't think too much of it at the time.
Back at home, she took a closer look and compared the lock on her bag with others of the same brand. Something wasn't quite right. The lock hole had a different appearance, as if someone had been tampering with it.
She shared a photo with me...and that's when I checked my own luggage. (See photos.)
To our shock, my lock was completely compromised! It now unlocks with any code imaginable. 😟 It was completely accessible.
We're currently contacting Emirates about this issue. In the meantime, here's a friendly reminder:
- If you've flown Emirates recently, please inspect your luggage locks.
- If you've encountered a similar experience, please share how you managed it.
Thanks.

P/S: It's always a good idea to photograph your luggage before and after travel for easy checking.
