Information and Routing Area

This portion of the bag tag is attached to the baggage and contains details for the airline, route, bar codes.

The "information area" remains in the center of the label.

  • Airline Name
  • Board and off point, for more than three connecting flights the first tag will not display the off point and it will be printed on the last bag tag (a second bag tag is printed after the third connecting flight)
  • Passenger's Name and last name.
  • Record Locator
  • Sequence number
  • Baggage pieces and weight 
  • last off point, city code/airport and name, for more than three connecting flights the first bag tag reads TRANSFER CONJUCTION
  • Agent sine/user responsable for check-in
  • Date, time and place where tag was printed 

The Section Routing Area contains the following information:

  • Final off point: marked as TO
