How do I mark my luggage as fragile?

It's possible to request a 'Fragile' sticker for your bag while checking in. There may not be anything inside that's technically fragile, but they don't need to know that and they won't run out of stickers. Just make sure you've got a viable reason when prompted; a glass ornament or mirror will suffice.
