They wanted to take a break for the holidays, but so did their luggage - quite literally. A Singapore traveller was shocked to find her sister's luggage severely damaged after a family trip from Singapore to Japan last year, according to a string of Facebook posts between Dec 4, 2024 to Jan 4 this year. User Elizabeth Seah's outrage began in December last year when her family received their luggage in terrible condition after arriving in Osaka. The luggage's outer shell had been smashed apart on both sides with several chunks gone from it, leaving large openings with sharp, plastic edges. Contents of the luggage could be seen moving about within the cloth interior of the bag as they shifted it around; a wheel was also missing, causing the luggage to tilt when placed upright. «My family happily land in Japan only to retrieve such a luggage,» she wrote. «What is this?»
