After mailing your luggage to the airport, the staff will stick a luggage tag on the back of the ticket. We can see that the luggage tag we hold consists of 10 digits.

The first digit: baggage type code, the second to fourth digits: carrier settlement code, the fifth to tenth digits: randomly generated baggage number. This is collectively called the identification link.

In addition to the above conditions, the randomly generated baggage number from the fifth to the tenth digit of the luggage mark is 6 digits, and each digit can be any number from 0 to 9. According to the permutation and combination rules, the luggage mark The last six digits can have a combination of 1 million, plus the previous carrier settlement code, we can know that theoretically, a flight company's luggage tags will not be repeated within 1 million pieces of luggage in a day.

In addition, all 10 digits are not displayed on the luggage tag. Instead, the following method is used to display the 6-digit baggage number with the carrier's two-digit code below the luggage identification link. For example, the carrier's two-digit code is QQ, the 6-digit luggage number is 123456, and it will appear as QQ123456 below the one-dimensional barcode, making it easier for passengers to find the luggage immediately.
