Stickers can also cause problems
We don’t always think about it, but stickers stuck on suitcases can also disrupt the scan, especially if they are old stickers with barcodes still visible.
The advice from professionals is simple: before travelling, remove old tags and stickers from your luggage. This will prevent any confusion during automatic sorting.
To easily identify your suitcase, it’s best to choose a suitcase of a different color, use a protective cover, or opt for a clearly visible tag with your name. It’s a simple and effective travel tip .

Why? Simply because the wheels are often the most fragile part of a suitcase. By positioning them upwards, you reduce the risk of them being damaged during transport and handling.
