A BAGGAGE handler has revealed the genius way to stop your suitcase getting lost at the airport. <\/p>\n

Losing your luggage while travelling is one of the biggest holiday nightmares Brits can face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Luckily, an airport worker took to social media to share a useful tip to avoid the terrible mishap. <\/p>\n

The travel expert appeared on a TikTok video posted from the Ontario International Airport explaining the hack.<\/p>\n

On the footage he told travellers to make sure to remove any tags and stickers from previous flights on their luggage. <\/p>\n

The employee said they have valuable information about your destination and any possible flight connections. <\/p>\n

Proud travellers like to leave several stickers and tags on their suitcase to remind them of their past holidays. <\/p>\n

But they can be interpreted wrong and your suitcase could accidentally end up in a different destination and ruin your trip. <\/p>\n

He explained: "So if your month-old American sticker is on there, there\u2019s a chance it scans it instead of this on. <\/p>\n

"It might end up there and not on the plane."<\/p>\n

The information scanned through the barcode on the tags is dated and the bag get processed accordingly to make sure it arrives to where the traveller is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pointing at the luggage conveyor belt, he told viewers where to find the tags.<\/p>\n

"Let's say you flew American\u00a0and then a month later, you flew Southwest,' he said while pointing to the luggage on the conveyor belt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"Well, there's a little sticker that goes on for American that tells the computer that it should go to there," he explained. <\/p>\n

Removing the tags reduces the chances of confusion and ensures that the correct destination information is displayed on your luggage.<\/p>\n

The TikTok video has gone viral on social media and has so far been watched more than 470,000 times.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hundreds of users rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts and experiences. <\/p>\n

One user said: "I always remove the stickers after a trip to Brazil all the way back to the USA they send my luggage to New Zealand."<\/p>\n

Another added: "I learnt that the second time I flew. I was a teen and frustrated the agent ripped my old tag off. When she explained it, I rip everything off now."<\/p>\n

It comes as a travel expert revealed a clever trick to avoid losing luggage when travelling by plane – or to locate it if you do.<\/p>\n
