Preparation
This is the first module to be presented to field personnel who will be responsible for
creating baggage records. This module should be presented to everyone who will
have the responsibility for working in the Baggage Service area of the airline's
operation.
Create the PNRs with itineraries over the current or recently past dates (within 12 days past, as the itinerary still needs to be active in the face of PNR, not moved
into PNR history)
The itinerary segment should have a termination at the cities/stations that the
students are using in class
Generate Sabre-system ticket numbers within the PNRs; add flight information
to at least one of the segments.
Have at least one baggage record already created, note the bag tag number used
in this Record.
So that the students can view the Duplicate Bag Tag pop-up, during the section
on creating a baggage record without a PNR, advise the students to enter the bag
tag number from the previously created Record.
Use the baggage records that the students created during the Create Record
section.
Have the students notate the flight, date, passenger name they used when they
created the baggage records, as well as the bag tag numbers they invent.
If there is not a hardcopy printer available in the classroom, the instructor should
print sample copies of each form prior to presenting this portion of the training
material so that the participants will have a copy of the printed form.

The greatest benefit to the airline is an automated system of locating a customers bag, therefore reducing
the amount of time that would normally be spent on phone calls and Teletype messages.
Create Record
What is a baggage record?
A baggage Record is a record of the mishandling of a passengers bag. Most often, a Record is created
for a lost bag. Upon confirmation that the baggage did not arrive with the passenger, the Baggage Service
user will take the steps outlined in this module to create a Record for tracking purposes.
The required elements of a baggage record are:
Passenger name(s)
Bag tag(s)
Description of bag
Check-in information
When the baggage record is complete and the transaction ended, a system search is completed to
determine if the bag is being tracked in the airlines host system for a possible match. This will only
work if the airline also uses the tracking process to create Baggage Management Analysis System Records
for any unclaimed bags, which are referred to as onhand bags.
The same is true when a Baggage Service user enters an onhand bag into the system. A search of all
Records is completed to determine if there is a match. The Baggage Management Analysis System
searches all onhand bag Records for a match to the open Records, and searches all Records for a match to
an onhand bag Record.
Responses to the search are placed on a baggage message queue for review. (Baggage Message Queues
are discussed in the Baggage Queues module.)
Baggage - Create Record
Use the Create Record label is to create a baggage record for any lost baggage, damaged baggage, or
pilfered baggage.
To access the Create Record functions, select <Shift+F1> from the Baggage tab.
Select Option:
o
Mini Tracer
Depending on option selected, Flight and Last Name may be required in this pop-up window
Select <OK>
In most cases, it is preferable to display the passengers PNR as the first step in creating a Record. By
doing so, required information is automatically transferred from the PNR into the Baggage record file.
However, in cases where the PNR cannot be retrieved, you can create a Record. For purposes of this
lesson, the Create Record without PNR is discussed first, to permit detailed explanation of the steps in the
process.
Select <OK>
Note:
The bag tag number input fields allow up to eight characters, as two additional spaces
are provided for an airline 2-letter alpha code.
The two-letter airline code should precede the bag tag number only when the bag tag was issued
by another airline
(example: HA123456).
Select <OK>
As a pop-up window series is completed, the Record or any error responses display on screen.
When the bag tag(s) are entered, the database is searched for any previously created baggage records that
have the same bag tag number. If a Record with a matching bag tag number is found, the Duplicate Bag
Tag pop-up window displays:
Select either
Select <OK>
Additional Information:
If Display Previously Created Record is selected, the Record currently being created is ignored and
the previously created Record is displayed on screen.
If no duplicate bag tag number was found by the system, or if you choose to Continue Creating
Record, the Record Options: Bag Description pop-up window displays.
The previously entered bag tag number(s) display on screen and the Record Options: Bag

descriptive information is provided.
Add any additional information that may be helpful in tracing the bag, such as YELLOW
YARN ON HANDLE, etc.
If your carrier does not participate in Content Categories, use Remarks to document the bag
contents
Select <OK>
Content Categories
SITA World Record is a worldwide interline tracing service offered jointly by IATA and SITA. For those
carriers who subscribe to World Record, there are standard content categories for each baggage
description item that assist World Record in finding possible baggage record matches outside of the Host
partition. Each carrier hosted within the Sabre system has the option to activate or deactivate the Content
Categories function.
For those carriers who have activated the content categories function, after the Record Options: Bag
Description pop-up window has been completed, the Content Categories pop-up window displays:

The Record is automatically placed on the stations list of lost baggage (Record list) and placed on the
stations baggage queue D. These lists and queues are used in the system to assist in tracing lost baggage.
These items are discussed in detail in the modules covering Baggage Tracing Techniques and Baggage
Queues.
Upon redisplay of the baggage record, the Claim Receipt pop-up window displays.
This pop-up window provides the option to print a claim receipt for the passenger. The Claim Receipt
option is part of Baggage Print Form, which is an elective option in the system and is controlled by an
internal bit.

BAG at the beginning the remarks line).
Ticketing field is searched for a system generated ticket number. If one exists, it is
added to the first itinerary line.
Phone
Note:
The system searches for -B and -H designators in the phone field of the PNR. If
these designators are found, the numbers are added to the baggage Record.
If not found, the first valid phone number is added to the baggage Record as the
home phone.
The data captured from PNR elements is not displayed in the Baggage Create pop-up
windows. Review the work area behind the pop-up see if the required data is captured. See the
following example:
This Baggage record was created from a PNR and is at the Add Passenger Address step.
Per the Address display in the work area, there was no address information transferred from the PNR to
the baggage record. Therefore, the address information should be entered into the Add Passenger Address
pop-up window.
Because a home phone number was listed in the PNR record, the phone number was picked up by the
baggage record. Therefore, this phone number does not have to be re-entered into the Passenger Phone
pop-up window.
If any changes must be made to any of the fields captured from a PNR, (for example, if the phone number
captured is the local home instead of the permanent home), the Modify Record option <Shift + F4> must
be used once the Create Baggage Record workflow is completed.
When the baggage record is completed and the transaction ended, a search is made to determine if the bag
is already on the onhand list in the airline's host system for a possible match. This will only occur if the
airline also creates files for unclaimed baggage in the Baggage Management Analysis System. As stated
before, when a baggage service user enters an unclaimed bag into the system, a search is made of all
baggage records to determine if there is a match.
Responses to the search are placed on baggage message queues for review.
Origin (optional): enter the three-letter city or airport code where the passenger boarded the flight.
Select <OK>
If a single PNR matches the flight/date-name entered, the PNR is displayed on screen and the Add Bag
Tags pop-up window displays:
If multiple PNRs match the flight/date-name entered, the list of PNRs is displayed on screen and the
Select Line Number pop-up window displays:
Select the Line Number of the PNR from the list that is to be displayed
Select <OK>
(Note that the Add Passenger Name pop-up window is not displayed when creating a baggage record
from a PNR. The first passengers name field in the PNR is taken into the baggage record.)

Add Remarks
If an error is made during the create process, it is advisable to continue through the process to the End
Baggage Record pop-up window before selecting Modify <Shift+F4> to make any corrections.
If a Record is not ended, the incomplete Record will remain in your work area until you choose to Ignore
Transaction or to End Baggage Record.
Create Record with an active PNR
When selecting the Create Record from Active PNR option from the Create Baggage Record pop-up
window, you must have an active PNR already displayed in your work area.
The same succession of pop-up windows are displayed to input the required fields. These are the same
series of pop-up windows mentioned in the Retrieve PNR and Create Record workflow:
Passenger Phone
o
Check the work area to see if a phone contact has been captured
Add Itinerary
o
Check the work area to see if the itinerary has been captured
Add Remarks
If, for any reason, the workflow is interrupted from the Create Record label <Shift + F1>, the baggage
record can be completed by using the Add option on the Modify / Close label <Shift + F4>.
In order to end a Baggage record, the following fields are required:
Bag Tag
Baggage Description
Passenger Name
Check-in field
In order to end a Baggage record outside of the Create Record workflow, use the End Baggage Record
hotkey <Ctrl+B>.
When selected, the End Baggage Record pop-up window displays:
Select Option:
End
Select <OK>
Note:
The PNR End Transaction hotkey <Ctrl + E> can also be used to end a baggage record;
however, if used, do not enter any Received From data or select any PNR options other than
Redisplay.
The same Ignore hotkey used for ignoring a PNR <Ctrl + I> is also used to ignore a Baggage record.
Ignoring a Baggage Record while in initial Create Record mode (before performing an End transaction)
will remove all record of the baggage transaction from the database.
Ignoring a retrieved baggage record will return the baggage record to the original form as when it was last
ended.
When <Ctrl+I> is selected, the Ignore pop-up window displays:
If Redisplay PNR was selected and the Baggage Record had been previously ended,
the Baggage Record is redisplayed on the screen.
If the Baggage Record was being newly created (had not been ended), the Baggage
Record is simply removed from the work area.
Select <OK>
Note:
If a Baggage Record (or other Baggage function) is active in your work area, many other system
functions are unavailable. This includes:
FOCUS functions
Sign Out
The current Baggage mode must be removed from your work area by Ignoring or by Ending. Once done,
other functions will again be available.
Mini Tracer
