คำอธิบาย
Luggage" is an uncountable noun used to refer collectively to suitcases, bags, and other items a traveller carries. "Baggages" and "Luggages" are incorrect because "baggage" and "luggage" are uncountable and do not take a plural form. "Properties" and "Property" usually refer to possessions, land or belongings, rather than travel bags. "Property" (singular) can sometimes refer to personal belongings, but "luggage" is the most appropriate word in this context.
