This question obviously doesn't have ANYTHING to do with flying. The same problems would arise in ANY parcel-handling system, whether it's the post office, Amazon's shipping department, container ships... | |

| Nov 5, 2019 at 7:24 | comment | added | Federico | @MagnusW could you raise the issue on meta? I think it is best to discuss the situation there | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 17:56 | comment | added | jamesqf | @Magnus W: If you want a technical answer, ask the question in an appropriate place. Baggage or package handling has nothing to do with aviation, so it's pretty unlikely that you'll get a better answer here. Even for commercial pilots, it's just stuff that goes in the hold :-) | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 7:58 | comment | added | Magnus | @jamesqf The obvious difference is that in those cases the freight company will most likely be able to track the package up until the last time it was scanned. If it is routed incorrectly that will all appear in the log, and it will be resorted and rerouted to the correct receiver. If you know, please tell me how it works in the case of airline luggage. If you don't know, then let someone who does answer the question. | |
| Nov 4, 2019 at 2:15 | comment | added | jamesqf | Perhaps for the same reason that I sometimes get mail or packages that are addressed to my neighbors. People and machines make errors. Nevertheless, this has nothing whatsoever to do with aviation, so downvoted. | |

Removed the passenger tag, as the question is not passenger related but baggage-handling-system -related.

| Nov 3, 2019 at 16:27 | comment | added | Magnus | To the moderators who say that the question is off topic - it's clearly about ground operations, airport-operations and baggage-handling-systems, exactly as tagged with tags that exist on Aviation StackExchange and not on Travel StackExchange. | |
| Nov 3, 2019 at 16:23 | comment | added | Magnus | Hmm yeah I'm thinking that the people on the Travel StackExchange are mostly travellers whose guesses are as good as mine. I'm hoping someone here actually has insight into the baggage handling systems and how they work in real life (which might differ from the descriptions in the biased industry websites, where it sounds all fine and dandy and impossible that luggage would ever get lost for more than a few days at most...) | |

| Nov 3, 2019 at 15:34 | comment | added | Jpe61 | Just a thought, but i think a question like this is waaaay more likely to reach someone who can answer it here than on travel SE... | |
