If you're flying with Ethiopian Airlines out of Nigeria anytime soon, you won't be able to board the plane with a "Ghana-Must-Go" bag. The airline has prohibited traveling with the popular matted woven bags on its flights on the route because they cause too much costly damage to conveyor belts at airports. Ethiopian Airlines says passengers are only allowed to travel with the bag if they are adequately packed in a carton or hardcover rectangular container. The bags are widely available, cheap, and spacious when you have much to carry, wherever you're in Africa or the world. What do you carry most in your reusable "Ghana-Must-Go bag"?
