English term or phrase: Did you pack the baggage yourself
It is a question asked during the check-in procedure at an airport
Andrew Quigley
Haben Sie Ihr(e) Gepäckstück(e) selbst gepackt?
Explanation:
instead of Gepäckstücke I would use "Koffer/Tasche" (suitcase/bag).

I have not heard the term "Gepäck" used on its own, most times they specified their questions quite exact.

Haben Sie das Gepäck selbst gepackt?


Explanation:
Im Englischen steht nicht "your baggage", weshalb im Deutschen nicht "Ihr Gepäck" stehen darf.
