Can you help me with the luggage?
'Aiutarmi' — stress 'a-iu-TAR-mi'. The 'ai' at the start is a diphthong — say both vowels quickly.
Use upon arrival or departure when you need a porter (facchino) to carry your bags. Common in higher-category hotels.
'Può aiutarmi' = 'can you help me'. 'Aiutare' (to help) + 'mi' (me). 'Con i bagagli' = 'with the luggage'. 'Bagagli' is the plural of 'bagaglio'. The hotel porter in Italian is called a 'facchino' or 'portabagagli'.

In Italy, tipping (mancia) hotel porters is appreciated but not obligatory. A standard tip is €1–2 per bag. At luxury hotels (5 stars), €2–5 per bag is appropriate. The tip is given discreetly when the porter leaves the room.
