Abstract: A system and method for tracking baggage on cruise liners are provided. A baggage tag is created which includes a unique baggage identifier and a unique passenger identifier that has been allocated by a reservation system. The identifiers are associated and stored in a baggage message. The baggage tag is affixed to an item of baggage and as the passenger checks in the item the tag is scanned and the bag validated and the status of the item in the baggage message is updated. When the passenger boards the ship, they scan a touch point with a mobile communications device which indicates that the item of baggage can now be delivered to their cabin. Shortly before arrival at port, the bags are loaded into a baggage container for unloading at the port and each bag tag is scan and associated with a scanned container identifier. The container is notified to the passenger through a message sent to their mobile communications device. When the container is unloaded the bag tag and the container are both scanned to ensure that the item of baggage has been loaded into the correct container and an error is flagged if the container associated with the bag tag does not match the scanned container.

Abstract: A flight departure control system comprises a central departure control system and a plurality of local departure control systems arranged at or in proximity of individual airports. Passengers check-in for flights via the central DCS and for each passenger a passenger data message is created and sent to the local DCS to which the flight relates. On detection of a fault condition at the central DCS or in communications with the central DCS, the local DCS assume responsibility for flights departing from the airport at which they are located based on the received passenger data messages and unchecked-in passengers check-in directly with the local DCS.
