a) transporting an item of baggage lying in a transport position on a first conveying line of the baggage conveying system, the transport position being a flat, stable position of the item of baggage;
b) changing a position of the item of baggage including standing up the item of baggage from the transport position into an upright space-saving position, the item of baggage taking up less contact area on the baggage conveying system in the upright space-saving position than in the transport position;
c) placing the item of baggage on an empty place of the baggage carousel while maintaining the space-saving position; and
d) moving the item of baggage in the upright position to fill the previously empty place of the baggage carousel while maintaining the space-saving position.
